I did see a post though that claimed it doesn't protect your hearing because it doesn't shield the bones around the ear.
Has anyone found a more or less definitive answer to this question? I searched for "bone conduction" but found no clear cut answer to whether this is a problem in light aircraft. At the airfield the other day I heard someone else mention this as a problem with the Clarity's too.
I fly mainly aerobatic and open cockpit aeroplanes where the ANR headsets according to quite a few posts seem unable to cope. I have been riding motorcycles for twenty years and always found that good earplugs are a must and work very well. A helmet would work but I don't like the extra weight during aerobatics.
So, would the combination of a Clarity Aloft and a cloth helmet with a disconnected headset or even earmuffs from the DIY store work and offer the best protection for this sort of flying? Has anyone tried this setup? Is there a reason this would not work?
