How do you wear a bike helmet if you have a cochlear implant?

Posted by frenchjgirl @frenchjgirl, Apr 17 3:23pm

Spring and summer are coming and, with them come outdoor activities. My husband and I like to bike and kayak and I'm wondering how I, as a new recipient of a cochlear implant, can handle these activities protecting the CI and still staying safe. What have others done?

Thank you!

Hi.. I have the same problem. I can barely tuck it under the helmet but haven’t been out yet so it’s a work in progress. Maybe a thin scarf over the CI first? Thank you
