Most senior helmets accommodate behind-the-ear hearing aids, especially those with removable ear pads. Look for helmets with generous internal volume and soft, pliable ear pads that won't press against the aids. Try the helmet on with your hearing aids before purchasing. Some skiers remove their hearing aids while skiing and rely on a skiing companion instead, but if you need to wear them, a senior helmet with removable, well-padded ear pads is your best option.
