HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted June 9, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I saw this question on another board and thought I would ask it here. For those of you who wear a helmet, bike helmet or motorcycle, what do you do to keep the processor( mainly the coil) from falling off? Modify the helmet? Get one a little too big?

HearPeers Heroes Matt Posted June 9, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Don't wear my processor when I'm wearing my M/C helmet. Cycle helmet I use a bandana to cut down the wind noise. I'd rather have reduced hearing on my M/C than wear a helmet too big. I have an old helmet that I should experiment with to see if I can modify the inner foam to accommodate the processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted June 9, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 A lady was asking that question as when her son wears his bike helmet, they have trouble keeping his processor on. Can't remember which forum I saw it on. Will have to look and relay the info to her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted June 9, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Oh, never fulfilled that interest but, remember Adam, I have found even modified football helmet: http://cochlearimplanthelp.com/journey/leisure-activities/sports/ There is an example of bike-helmet too.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted June 9, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I remember seeing the picture of the football helmet. I didn't realize a bike helmet was made as well. It makes sense though as the regular cycling helmets are always evolving. A lot like the hearing implant industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted June 11, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think this is just a modification - they mention that there is a lot space to put the outer unit. I just do not how then the helmet fits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted June 12, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I am sure much more testing is going into the fit as well as safety. Looking forward to what comes out of it. Would love to see head protection for martial artists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
