Can hair loss be cause by wearing headset?
for the past year I notices my hair is getting thinner and thinner on top, and I figure it was my time to join the ranks of bald pilots. However, over the weekend my girlfriend notices I had a spot which was much thinner than the other, after some thought, I notice that that area is where my headset rest most of the time, and many times in flight I start feeling uncomfortable(up there) in that area and end up moving the headset to rest in other area of the hair.
Has anyone experiences something similar? if so, are there any solutions to slow down the inevitable? perhaps an change of headset to a Clarity Aloft or similar headset would help?

I know it has to do with genetics but still want to do everything i can in my budget. I curently using a bose x, and the to padding starts to bother after few hours.
Im not sure if the headset had anything to do, or it is what it is, just want to hear what other pilots have expirience.
