Experience using headset

I was recently on a flight from EWR to ATH on emirates. They gave us headsets. The left side of the headset started making a buzzing static kind of sound but I continued to try to use it to listen to music. That was a big mistake. After the plane landed for 2 days my left ear had a funny feeling and hurt a bit. That feeling went away but now it’s been a week and 2 days since this happened but anytime I swallow I hear a sound in my left ear.

I’m very worried that using their headset has left me with some ear damage.

I just read a First Class review that mentioned the headset having a static noise as well so this seems to be happening across all classes.

Be careful and stay away from the headset if it makes weird noises.

Besides that, the flight was good and Emirates Economy feels very luxurious. However they served me 2 veg pasta dishes on the way back from ATH neither of which I could eat. They were not very good and I just can’t do pasta twice on the same flight.
