that's how science works until you can actually test the hypotheses.

Sure, but it's still pretty irresponsible of the BBC to publish what is effectively educated guesses as something to be concerned about.

This belongs in an academic article. Not a news one.

No it’s not. Experts in their field are seeing a strong correlation in behaviors that could harm your health. It’s the perfect place for an audiologist to speak to this issue.

And they also have a theoretical basis for their hypothesis. You don't have to have 100% experimental proof about something to take initial action, especially to avoid harm.

Not at all the same thing. There was tons of evidence and theory that vaccines were safe, and the consequences of not using them were very high.

And yet that didn't stop the ACTUAL harm it caused.
