I mean ... not really. And I say that as a
big believer in trusting science and not ignorant fear mongering. I'm no scientist myself, but I did spend four years at a precision medicine start-up and learned a lot from my biology PhD co-workers about medical research.
There have been countless times throughout history where we knew X for certain, and we knew Y for certain, but we didn't think about detail Z that comes up when X and Y are combined. We know
a lot about
a lot of the tech involved in Bluetooth ... but we
don't know for certain that there are no ill effects heavily using this specific radio frequency directly on your brain box for hours at a time over the course of years.
That's not saying Bluetooth isn't safe! It just means there's a non-negligible chance it isn't, and we don't know for sure.
I should also note there could be a "too much horse shit" angle here: before cars city planners were (seriously) worried that too much horse shit was going to start overflowing major cities.
In retrospect automobiles made that a joke of a concern, and in the same way if we cure cancer, or even just get a lot better at treating it (eg. with precision medicine) none of this will matter.
But if you plan to wear Bluetooth headphones a lot and don't want to take even a small chance of an increased rate of cancer (that might someday be curable) ... don't wear them.
