Over the course of several months in 2024, TIME spoke to more than 40 people in the Granbury area who reported a medical ailment that they believe is connected to the arrival of the Bitcoin mine: hypertension, heart palpitations, chest pain, vertigo, tinnitus, migraines, panic attacks. At least 10 people went to urgent care or the emergency room with these symptoms. The development of large-scale Bitcoin mines and data centers is quite new, and most of them are housed in extremely remote places. There have been no major medical studies on the impacts of living near one. But there is an increasing body of scientific studies linking prolonged exposure to noise pollution with cardiovascular damage.
No they don’t. https://www.who.int/teams/environment-climate-change-and-health/radiation-and-health/non-ionizing/base-stations-wireless-technologies
Not only are all radio devices regulated to not exceed maximum power, but many portables devices are regulated to limit radio wave exposure. And even if that regulation didn’t exist, radio waves are not harmful to the human body unless you’re sticking your hand in a microwave and burning yourself. Claiming that radio waves hurt people is misinformation.
I’m gonna give them the benefit of doubt and say they’re not claiming about the radio waves, but about the distraction and lack of situational awareness resulting from Bluetooth headphones

Well, prove it wrong if you’re so sure of it.
“Some people are wrong, therefore all people are wrong” is a stupid statement.
