Thumbs down Another one bites the dust

I have officially become a casualty of the S-92A (SAR Config) acoustic war. After about two years flying it in the SAR config, I was rewarded with strong tinnitus, and hearing loss above 6 kHz. So what is the 'magic combination of Helmet/ANR/CEP/Ear-Plugs that will make this outrageously loud cockpit acoustically safe for those who have to fly it?

There are going to be many hard-of-hearing S-92 veterans in the not so distant future!

Tried ALPHA helmet with upgrades, currently GALLET 250 with CEP and custom ear moulds.

Is there a good Helmet / ANR solution??? Money is no object.
