Just making decisions about hearing devices and like the idea of being able to hear again while riding.
I am totally deaf in my left ear and slightly impaired on the right.

What helmet solutions are others using?

I don't normally look at modular helmets but that makes perfect sense. Thanks for that looks like I will be using a CROS.
