A member asked:
It'll hurt right below/behind my ears.. i apply pressure to relieve pain. why could this be?

Depends: This could be referral pain from your cervical spine (a misalignment??) or referral discomfort from an ear problem. I would suggest that you make an appointment with an osteopathic physician (D.O.) and have this pain diagnosed and corrected.

I wear these on-ear headphones, after a few hours they really start to hurt my ears with the pressure they apply. I wear them for work, so I just ignore the pain and keep them on for hours. Is there any long term damage Im risking by doing this?
