Ouch, my ears.... What to do?

[zoom-zoom]

a light or summer weight buff pulls up around my ears and doesn't cut the sound. Plus it cuts the neck chill also

I wore a buff under my helmet, too...actually, I always wear one under, since it keeps my scalp from burning, bugs from flying into a vent and stinging, and sweat from running in my face. Plus no one sees my helmet hair, since I keep it on after rides, too. When it's chilly I keep the Buff over my ears. Several people I rode with today did the cotton in their ears, too.

I just used a beanie under my helmet that went over my ears. Just find one thin enough to go under the helmet without trouble.

Some helmets generate more noise than others. I had one that would actually sing a bit in the right (or wrong!) conditions. I abandoned that one to my husband and it didn't whistle on his head.

Anything you put around your head or ears will change the airflow. You might just have to keep trying different things until you get it worked out.

I was thinking of asking my grandma for these next christmas:

Dorky? I don't even care. They look warm, and I want one in neon pink. And I would be lost with earplugs, I really rely on my hearing in traffic. Right now I'm just wearing hats, but they don't have as much ear coverage as I'd like.

OMG! I have a cycling friend who knits and also lives in chilly, rainy climate. Sending this to her RIGHT NOW.
