A student from Rajasthan has come forward with a distressing claim against JBL, alleging that her Tune Beam 2 earbud burst while inside her ear. The incident reportedly occurred with the earbuds, which were only about a month old, causing a sensation described as a "drilling machine-like."
Following the alleged malfunction, the student sought medical attention. An ENT consultation confirmed inflammation of her tympanic membrane, commonly known as the eardrum. She shared images of the damaged earbud and her medical prescription on social media.
