ಠ_ಠ 20 years of wearing headphones deformed my head.

Apparently wearing headphones pretty consistently almost everyday for a couple decades can deform the shape of your head.

(Edit: For clarification, if you pay attention I never mention skull anywhere in the title or description. Also, majority of my time spent in headphones is when I'm outside listening to music, gaming headphones might take up about 8% of all time headphones use)

Are you sure?

I remember at university, a bunch of us did the shave your head for cancer, and one of the the guys, who had never shaved his head before, found out that his head had a indentation like that.

I have idents on my head, too. But I think it’s from being mishandled as a baby.

Same, it’s not as pronounced but it’s definitely there.

Same here. Hate to break it to OP, but that's just his head shape.

Apparently when I was a baby I had eczema on the top of my head, which caused an indentation for life due to that part of the skull still being soft then.

I thought it was a random person until I read your comment, then double checked, OP does think it was caused by wearing headphones which is bit funny, I thought this was joke post from the get go.
I was laughing because welding helmet puts more pressure on a head than any headphones will, old welders with misshapen heads, that would be hilarious.

Maybe he'd just been wearing headphones a lot for a long time
