The kid isn't claiming he has only hearing loss from listening to his Airpods over extended periods. He's claiming that an Amber Alert instantaneously ruptured his eardrums. According to the CDC a sound over 120 dB will cause instant hearing damage (but not eardrum rupture). 150 dB will cause eardrum rupture.
