| Subject: | Re: helmets (Noise) |
As an Aerial Gunner on USAF Combat Search and Rescue helicopters, we use CEP's
with our 56/P helmets. In our VERY noisey environment, they come in handy but
with some limitations. If they are not placed perfectly in your ear, they can
start to hurt. The small wire will push against your ear and after a short time,
start to cause a "hot spot". Also, the wire has to be managed and is not very
stout. The ear cushion has to be replaced every 20 uses or so. They compliment
the comm's and can be helpful. Sometimes, I just pull them out and put in
ear plugs and crank the volume.

Using ear plugs and then cranking up the volume is what the motorcyclists
typically do. It gets really noisy inside a motocycle helmet in an 80mph
(or faster) breeze.
But I like the idea of CEP or something like it (in the ear canal) because
active noise reduction does such a poor job attenuating upper midrange and
high frequencies. Between shooting and flying (even though I always wear
hearing protection) I now have tinnitus. Anything that reduces noise and
makes the comm frequencies clearer helps a lot.

That's exactly what makes ACCES from Westone great.- They are formed from
your own ear and can only fit in one way.- Once installed correctly, the
y're no problem.
