Has anyone ever bin electrocuted by ear buds? I did and I don't know if this has ever happened before to anyone?

I did and I don't know if this has ever happened before to anyone. I had my right ear bud in and as I was getting out of my work van my ear bud electrocuted the inside of my ear. There was not one thing that should have done this.

There isn't enough current or voltage in the earbuds for you to be electrocuted. Since the earbuds are grounded in the device you were using it is logical to believe that you had a discharge of static electricity from your ear to the bud as you exited the vehicle.

2 you probablly got static energy from the van door as you exited. You cannot get electrocuted from ear buds. It is not physically possible .

3 There's a big difference between being "electrocuted" and getting an electrical shock. It's called injury or death. Your earbuds might be a choking hazard if you happen to swallow one.

But they aren't going to kill you or anyone else with electricity. As Yup says, it's not physically possible. You're not connecting them to anything that packs nearly enough wallop to injure you, let alone kill you.

4 Here you go. This is the closest thing to an earbud-related electrocution I can find:theglobeandmail.com/servlet/Page/documen... in reality, his overall injuries had very little to do with the earbuds. This guy actually got off pretty easy, injury-wise.

Even without earbuds, survivors of such incidents (what few there are) often suffer far worse, including:-Brain damage-Eye damage-Deafness, ringing ears-Central nervous system: coma, seizures, amnesia, paralysis-Respiratory system damage-Heart AttackAnd as they pointed out at the end of the story, a piece of metal jewelry could have the same channeling effect. And of course, it wasn't the earbuds or the device they were plugged into that were dangerous. It was being outside mowing the lawn during a thunderstorm.

Relax and enjoy the music, Annimus. I think you're pretty safe, statistically speaking. :P .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
