Streamers and gamers are noticing they have dents in their heads due to prolonged headphone use

If you wear your headphones daily, you might have noticed a slight indentation on the top of your head.

Well, at least that’s the case for some streamers and gamers right now, who are shaving their heads to unveil their bizarre new head shape.

In the clip, the man says: “Dude the shaver's working like a champ.

"I’m looking at an indent here; this is where my headphones go. I have a f**king headphone indent in my head. What the f**k.

“I thought that was just my hair; I thought just my hair did that.”

Ah, my dude, it looks like you might have to invest in some good hats.

Many were left amused, as one person on Twitter wrote: “Once you stream on Twitch enough your genetic code changes and your skull becomes soft and pliable.”

Another said: “Modern Cranial Modification - a status symbol among the idle, they are raised in heavy headphones from an early age, such that a divot forms as an easily recognisable marker of sedentism.”

A third commented: “This is why I will never wear a headset for prolonged time periods.”

While another advised: “Idc who you [are] PLEASE invest in IEM's [in ear monitors], getting bald spots or having a[n] indent in ya head isn't worth it.”

But is this legitimately a thing?

Well, the short answer - no.

So rest assured, even the most bulky Sennheisers aren’t going to alter your head.

But you can suffer a temporary dent that goes away after a while.

A 2017 study by National Acoustic Laboratories also revealed that when one in 10 Australians frequently turn up the volume on their headphones to more than 85 decibels, it’s the equivalent of standing next to a running lawn mower.

"When hearing damage starts, then you're really on an irreversible journey. If you don't protect your hearing, you're going to damage it for life," Professor McAlpine said, as per the outlet.

So, proceed with caution.
