Streamer Curtoss shaved his head on a live stream for charity, but he didn’t expect to find this dent from prolonged use of hearing aids .
A Twitch streamer was stunned after live-streaming himself shaving his hair off for charity and noticing a large mark on his head from wearing his headphones every day.
Curtoss did a broadcast to raise money for the charity Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. And while she was shaving, she realized the detail.
a big slit
“The razor works like a champ,” Curtoss said, as he began shaving the hair down the middle of his head.
Within seconds, he noticed an indentation on the top of his head. “Dude, I’ve got a hole here, this is where my headphones go!” she told onlookers. “I have a headphone hole in my head! What the hell?”
“I always thought it was just my hair,” she added.
The clips of the moment have gone viral on all social networks, receiving millions of views a day.
I wasn’t the only one
Surprisingly, Curtoss wasn’t the only one to find a head indentation from prolonged wearing of headphones .
“Welcome to the club,” responded one Twitter user, who shared photos of two players with dents in their skulls.
“New fear just unlocked”, several players wrote.
Can prolonged use of hearing aids really cause permanent damage? While there are risks to wearing headphones for long periods of time, head indentations are temporary. In fact, Headphonesty reports that it takes at least 135kg to cause a minor skull fracture. Of course, it is very likely that wearing headphones all day can deform that layer of our scalp.
The real problem behind the use is the gradual loss of hearing. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 50% of people aged 12-35 are at risk of hearing loss due to prolonged and excessive exposure to loud sounds, even through headphones.
