Hi. Thank you for your question. There is no inconvenience to use headphones. They just shouldn`t be too big so that they put too much pressure on your ears. It would be better to use smaller ones in the beginning, those which are placed in the auditory canal. Hope this was helpful.

Hi. Thank you for your question. Usually the numbness can take between 2 and 4 months. Up to now, all my patients had their sensibility back after a couple of months. I hope this was helpful.
