I have something that looks like that. Mine is a bone mounted hearing aid. Usually there’s a little device plugged into it.
Comment on Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?
ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 2 weeks agoI used to work with a guy that had what looked a bit like a Schrader valve (I never got close and looked) a little bit behind one of his ears. I worked with him for a while but never asked what it was for. Any chance you could give some idea as to what it was for? I assumed he may have had a TBI at some point (I feel like I remember an IED story from him) and it was to relieve pressure or something.

No idea unfortunately, but definitely not to release pressure. You don’t get air in your brain, it’s all fluid. Outside of the hospital, all the drains drain to somewhere internal, usually the abdominal cavity

There’s brain fluid in my tum tum?
