    Default Is this traction alopecia or I am just balding due to ageing?

    Hello everybody. I am 32 and I am trying to understand if my hair loss is due to ageing, or it could be traction alopecia given by the fact that I wear headphones. I am forced to wear headphones because I have noisy neighbours and sometimes I have no choice if I want to sleep. I don't wear them too much though, just 1-2 hours per day.

    What I noticed is that normally people who have male pattern baldness start losing their hair from the two sides of the central front area, but my hair loss pattern is very different. This is how my head looks with my hair naturally brushed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188185...posted-public/

    In this picture instead I brushed my front hair away, just to make it more visible: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188185...posted-public/

    What I find strange is that I have this hair loss there, right in the area where I wear headphones, while I would expect more something like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188185...posted-public/

    For context, this is how my frontal area looks: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188185...posted-public/

    So I am in the phase that I don't show any visible hair loss when sitting face to face with a person, but if I bend over I show that ugly bold spot in the center! Why? I am using Minoxidil, I am taking biotin and massaging my scalp 10 minutes per day from 5-6 months but this never went away. Maybe somebody who has some experience with it can tell me if it's likely to be traction alopecia, or if maybe it's just genetic and some people are more prone to experience this type of male pattern balding?
