Helmet & Hearing aids

[Over the Ord]

My helmet touches the buttons on my hearing aids causing them to beep, I’ve tried putting the thicker sponge padding in but that doesn’t help, the fix I think is a cycle helmet that raises above the ears to clear the hearing aids, do they exist?

Any advice appreciated before I call into the LBS next week to see what they have.

Related but not:
I don't have hearing aids, but I have found that Cat ears - little furry strips that fasten to your helmet straps - are effective at reducing wind noise, which I imagine hearing aid users would find useful

…and some advice from the Bicycle Helmet Safety Insitiute.

I tried my hearing aid while riding......the wind noise was horrendous
so stopped using them, at least I don't hear the prats in cars swearing at me now

I have no problems with my hearing aids

so it is possible to have both - you may need to find a helmet that has more clearance over you ear
