noticed something similar with my non airport Noise cancelling earbuds. If I had to guess, I'd say those frequencies we can't hear are still damaging our ears

That's interesting. I wonder if you have the kind of tinnitus that produces a noise the AirPods can pick up? That could cause feedback.

There’s a giant Apple support thread with lots of people who had the same problem.
