It says before, balding, and after 20 seconds later a full head of hair.

Must have stopped using his headset for 20 seconds

Cheap way to fight hair loss:
1. Buy tube of super glue
2. Borrow cat from neighbor
3. Apply coat of glue to scalp
4. Carefully roll cat across head
5. Wait for bites and scratches to heal

I'd love to blame it on my previous headsets, but not only am I thinning towards the back of my head, but it's very noticeable in the front now as well. And that couldn't be caused by a headset. Stress maybe... My brothers constantly poke fun at me for it since they both still have a full head of hair! Jerks... Ha!

I switched to CA headset over 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. In fact I'm seriously considering buying their newest Bluetooth enabled one.

Of course you can, but you'll lose.

Those "halo" type headsets look too flimsy

Not sure what is causing your baldness. It does sound like the headset rests on an area where baldness begins. Maybe pattern baldness. There is a product called Nioxin which treats this type of hair loss. Treats the biological cause which is testosterone passing through the scalp. Over 40 or 50 years old is common.
Maybe it will work.

Hate to say it, but I seriously doubt the headset is to blame. I started experiencing the loss at 23 to my utter shock! I thought I would never be able to date again. I am 28 now and I completely embrace it. Bring on the loss!
