Hearing Aids

I wear BTE hearing aids in both ears. I have ridden with the aids in and the aids out. When they're in, yes there is a lot of wind noise, which makes them pretty much useless. So basically, when I'm riding, I don't wear them at all, which pretty much means I'm deaf. I do take them with me because you just never know. Some people may say that I'm missing out on sounds like babbling brooks, birds singing in the morning, etc., but I don't hear that stuff anyway even with them in. I have a mirror attached to the handle bars so I can see what's going on behind me and I try to make an effort to be more alert. There are some advantages, that the peace and tranquility of deafness, can provide.
