Can headphones dent your head?

This story was originally published on Passionfruit.

A viral video showing a streamer shaving his head for charity and freaking out after finding a strange dent in his head right where he wears his headphones has left viewers wondering—can headphones really dent your head?

“I have like an indent here! This is where my headphones go!” Twitch streamer @curtoss exclaimed in the clip that had fellow gamers swearing off headphones out of immediate fear that they might meet the same fate.

He isn’t the first streamer to suddenly be concerned about how their headphones might be reshaping their skull, and the positioning of the indent is certainly suspicious. But surely if this were a real concern, we would hear about it far more often, right?
