Leave them "in" when using a full face helmet, or take them out?
Keep using ear plugs when using a half helmet?
(Many-many years in an industrial environment).
Hell to get old. sheets

I have always left mine in. They are the 'totally in the ear' type and don't have a feedback problem, YRMV. You might want to keep a small waterproof film cannister in your saddlebag to put them in when it rains, if your helmet leaks though.  |

I rode with a guy that would reach under his helmet and turn his off before we left the rest areas. I'd never rode with him before so I did not know for the first few traffic lights why he wouldn't speak back. I was trying to be friendly.

I've just recently gotten hearing aids. My loss is both high frequencies AND low frequencies.
I've not worn them under a helmet but I wouldn't do it myself. My loss is kinda weird. I can hear better one on one in a noisy environment with them turned off. Too much distracting noise with them turned on.
Unless you can't hear important traffic noise without amplification why batter your ears with amplified wind and tire noise when riding. I use ear plugs when riding and they're not compatible with hearing aids.
As an afterthought, I use BTE aids. ITE aids might work out just fine, especially if they're turned off when riding. As mentioned, hearing aids don't like moisture, even sweat, so take care.
Just my .02.

Thanks. I don't have them at the moment, but will have them in a month or two. They are the 'totally in the ear' type, not the style that hooks on over and behind with the little tube going in. I didn't think they'd be compatible with riding, but just thought I'd ask to see what the voice of experience had to say. Thanks,

Been wearing these suckers for 30 years. Mine are the all in the ear type, and I would not think of riding without them. I kinda like to hear the engine, plus you need to be able to hear a little noise in case something is fixing to fall off,lol. When you first start using these things, be prepared for a big change and give yourself plenty of time to get somewhat used to them. I ride with a half helmet and get very little wind noise. Make sure they fit good in your ear and won't work their way out, cause if one pops put going down the road, you can kiss it goodbye....hope this helps....

Thanks! Glad I posed the question. Will just have to play it by ear (  ). Gett'n old . . . the OEM stuff is wearing out. Had arthroscopic (sp?) surgery on one knee a month ago. Just gett'n back to normal. Probably have the other one done soon. About 90 more days till "opening day" of MC season for me. |

Sheets, I've been wearing aids for 15 years. Most of that time was with in the ear but just recently went to the behind the ear and love these. I have fewer problems with the bte, no feed back and they are comfortable in the helmet. Good luck with whatever you decide to get.
