Tej Paranjpe, a lawyer acting on behalf of the plaintiff, said, 'Apple's failure to warn about the volume level of the AirPods Pro has changed the boy's life significantly and made him permanently deaf. Apple has set AirPods to a safe level. The boy would have lived a normal life if he had adjusted to or warned of the volume increase associated with the alert. '
