A member asked:
For the past 3 years i've worn a headset for most of the day, and they have changed the shape of my ears. if i stop wearing them, will they change back?

Probably yes : The ears are typically vulnerable to molding during the first 3 months and especially the first 3 weeks of life. So it is unlikely that your shape change is permanent.

Yes - minor changes: Minor changes will settle down. More significant changes should be evaluated.
