I’ve found a serious side effect to using a fan all week – and a way to fix it

AirCraft Lume review.

The UK was hit with a major heatwave this week, with temperatures getting as high as 37°. I loved the weather when I sat outside, but inside was a different story. For the past few days, I’ve been sitting at my desk or lying in my bedroom with multiple fans going at once, and it’s led me to find a serious problem that many fans have.

As T3’s resident fan expert and tester, I’ve been using multiple types of fans to beat the UK heatwave, including desk, tower and handheld fans. While they’ve been more than helpful at cooling me down, I started to notice that no matter where the fan was located, I started to get a really bad earache.
