I agree with you guys that the warnings are made to cover themselves just in case. I'd like to know what prior incidents with hearing aids lead them to make these warnings, though. Yikes.
I admit to turning off my router every night, and turning it back on in the morning just to reduce excess 'waves' while I sleep... hopefully. Although, there are so many neighbours with wifi networks that seem to leave their's on all the time that it probably doesn't make a difference. When I first set up wifi I actually considered running a looonnng cable from the main computer downstairs to upstairs to plug in my laptop - ha - but it was little inconvenient and cluttered.
