Hair Loss from Headphones?
Hello, my question is about hair loss and headphones. I am a gamer which means I spend sometimes up to 6 hours per day or more on my computer wearing headphones.
Do headphones cause hair loss/thinning? I wear them for long periods of time but luckily they are padded. I am very concerned about this. Thanks.
Properly fit headphones, like any hat that does not rub or pull on the hair, will not cause traction alopecia. You more than likely have nothing to be concerned about regarding your headphones causing hair loss.
My 14 year old son also has the same issue — avid gamer — noticed his hair thinning wear the headphones rub against his head as he pulls them off and on constantly. They also sometimes let them slide across the sides of their heads, another area my son has been losing hair.. at his hairline.. Be careful not to let the band constantly rub along the top of your head.. I have seen my son wear these for hours at a time.. Following up with the dermatologist. Gamers take care and beware.

Omg! So it will cause baldness?? :o
i’m a gamer too, and balding is certainly not good! Especially if your a girl!!! My gosh! Good thing i read this! Whenever i play, for many hours, i do feel something in my scalp, hmmm a little different maybe… O___o so it’s thinning … Thank goodness i read this now! :)
I am a gamer too… but i have read many pages and all… the main reason for hair fall is not headphones actually… it is “”over masturbation””… that causes hair fall.. so if u r gamer then u must do exercise stuff and stop eating junk foods.. it really damage hair and ur body too..
that is all i wanted to say… thank u…
