ok, I just read in another tread that the BAHA can interfere with a bike/ATV helmet???? There goes my hopes for a BAHA if that is the case...I own and ride an ATV and a helmet is a must when off private property....so that would leave me wth transear but I have small ear canals...may be a problem!!!! so what is the CROS like???? Anyone????

You could still use a BAHA. All you need to do is take it off when you are wearing your helmet. By then way please wear your helmet on private property too. My son has a severe traumatic brain injury from a car accident which happened when he was 20 years old. He will be totally disabled for the rest of his life. That's why I am such an advocate of helmets.

oh believe me I always wear my helmet. My cousin is a paramedic and I heard horror stories of such crash...

any outdoor activity I would remove the BAHA .. raking leaves , fishing, jogging, to bike riding.... for me its no biggie .. I carry a pill box with one of thoese "no not eat" silicon packs... so when it rains or I just want to take it off for some reason ... I just pop it off and into the pill box until I'm ready.....
