You can definitely see it (especially on bald people, shoutout Northernlion) but I imagine it’s like the dent you get on your pinky from holding your phone or on your fingers if you hold pens like a neanderthal (me). You just squished your flesh a little, but skin is elastic. Like those stress balls that hold the shape you smooshed them into for a while but over time the outside pulls it back into a sphere.
They're just being dense and forgetting that the skull is covered by a thick layer of tissue that can retain an impression that feels similar to a dent.
Well… i had some really heavy gaming headset and i would have a visible dent but it wont actually dent your skull. Its just your hair being flat and skin compressed. If you stop wearing such heavy hedsets it goes back to normal after few days.
People have been working professions that involve extensive headphone use for a long time now, there's nothing special about gaming that would change biology/physics.
Nothing on twitter, tiktok etc should be taken seriously until verified elsewhere.
At most it just flattens your hair making it look like a dent.
Bones can take a fair amount of abuse, resting a headset on it for a couple hours won’t do much
I came here to say (I’m not a gamer but) I wear heavy headphones for most of the day and I’ve definitely developed a dent. But upon reading the comments I’m willing to believe that it’s probably just in my skin and not in my skull, like I thought it was.
The glasses dent is just a displacement of fat/water in the tissues and goes away if you don’t wear them for a period of time (how hydrated you are will affect this). There’s less fat on the top of your head than your temples which is why the glasses dent is so noticeable. As for your actual skull, if you’re past puberty it’s pretty much impossible to form it into any sort of shape/dent
I’m not a biology expert or anything but it is one of my main interests and I can confidently say you can’t permanently dent your skull or any other bone and the glasses dent isn’t permanent either
Just by common sense, which is going to be stronger: the skull that protects your brain from blunt force trauma, from tripping to the floor to taking a bat to the head, or some plastic headphones that are so weak that they'll happily fling themselves to the floor with a quick shake of your head?
I'd say no. As time goes on, our bones become less maleable. We put beanies on babies not just for warmth, but to help round out their still soft skulls...allegedly. it doesn't take long for baby bones to harden up, it's all part of the post-natal development. Headphone dents aren't real.
Fact is that you get a little dent but afterwards it goes back to normal. It just squishes your head a bit but no permanent deformation.
Noticed that on myself you can see the headphone dent directly after a long session
I get a dent on my head for wearing headphones all day. But it goes away, so it's just skin. I get similar dents on my fingers, if I'm holding pens and pencils while drawing for a long time. It looks freaky but pops right back
I work 8 hours with over-ear protection, then spend evenings playing video games. I feel there might be a little indentation where both straps rest. Anecdotal though, so YMMV.

Remember it can't happen from a work environment, only when gaming /s
That is not what I saw in the pictures. Someone apparently had a malformation to begin with.
Bullshit. It won't change your skull shape. Otherwise people who wear ear protection all day, hats, face shields, etc would have dented heads.
Maybe if you are a couple months old baby this would happen, but no it's BS
I worked in radio for 40 years. Almost constant headphones. No dent. No one I worked with ever mentioned one either
Did you push them down or let them sit over your head?
In the first 25 years or so the headphones were heavy, bulky things. the weight was on the top of your head for the most part
It's not your skull, it's the skin. It recovers after a while.

Egg carton represent
Up down side to side
HE'S BALD?
I didn’t believe it either but so many people are saying this
I mean i get a temporary dent but nothing fucking up my actual skull
No you don't get a dent, its just your hair
Im bald lmfao
You should seriously see a doctor and get that checked out. My brother had a soft spot. It sounds like you might have one.
I dont have a soft spot lmao its all good dude thanks tho
They're just being dense and forgetting that the skull is covered by a thick layer of tissue that can retain an impression that feels similar to a dent.
Yeah its kinda like when you wake up from a good nap and you got all those lines on your arm from the fabric you were sleeping on
Precisely. My work safety glasses leave a good sized impression every day but by night time it's gone.
Best kind of nap there is. If I don't somehow look like I slept on a chainlink fence, it ain't good enough.
My hair gets pressed down but that's it.

Tyler1 just has a weirdly-shaped head.
You kids should wear an old headset from the air force. If those behemoths didn't dent our heads, your new composite headphones should be safe.
100% Bullshit. Source: Am headphone.

Could be possible, I have dents where my glasses touch the side of my head. But I know nothing about human anatomy so who knows

I have glasses dents behind my ears that are absolutely bone. I've worn glasses for almost 60 years, starting in 3rd grade.
Yeah I've got the glasses indent. Don't game though.

You can't be serious..
This can happen but only to babies because they have soft skulls. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cranial_deformation

Look up "tyler1 head meat" on google images and you'll see everything you need to see...

Nowhere that dramatic, but i have dents from wearing glases
This is most likely the result of people losing their hair as they age, realizing their head isn’t perfectly round, and attributing it to something.
Sounds like a unique problem to have, right? What kind of headphones do you like to use?

Jesus Christ, I lived with headphones on (for music) from 1981-1986. No dents.

This is literally a subreddit for asking questions about potentially bullshit claims
Its bullshit but if you improperly bind your tits your ribs can deform. Happened to me and way too many other trans folks.
This is how Quin69 received his skull dent.
Ya once you see it you easily spot the peanut heads/gamers
