Industrial piercings and headphones
An industrial piercing can indeed cause some difficulty when wearing headphones. Since the piercing involves a barbell that connects two holes in the upper cartilage of the ear, the jewelry can create pressure points or discomfort when pressed against. This is especially true with over-ear headphones, which may apply direct pressure on the piercing.
If you’re concerned about comfort, you might consider using in-ear headphones or ensuring that any headgear you wear doesn’t fit too tightly against your ears.
