A member asked:

I use headsets for a long period of time.since i have no hair to protect it from my skull, can it change my skull shape with time?

Specializes in Preventive Medicine

No ....: Prolonged use of headsets can make an impression/dent in the scalp/skin over your bony skull, but will not impact the bone of the skull itself. And, of course, they can give you a pretty serious hair dent:) Stay well.
