Protector hearing helmet

A helmet positionable in an operative position on a user's head, comprising:

• a helmet shell having opposite shell sides, an at least partially open shell front, a shell top, a shell rear, and a shell opening;
• said helmet shell defining a shell interior;
• wherein when in the operative position, said shell sides extend down over the user's ears and said shell open front defines a user through-viewing area;
• and
• a hearing assembly attached to and supported by and inside of said helmet shell, said hearing assembly including an ear cup defining an enclosed hearing chamber positioned in said shell interior and a hearing conduit passing through said shell interior and communicating said hearing chamber with said shell opening;
• wherein said hearing assembly includes a ventilation tube for providing ventilating air to that ear, when in the operative position;
• and
• wherein when in the operative position, said ear cup fits around one of the user's ears and thereby reduces transmission of undesirable wind noises in, on and around said shell to that ear, and said hearing chamber communicates that ear with the outside of said helmet shell through said conduit and said shell opening such that sounds outside of said shell can be transmitted through said shell opening directed via said conduit to be heard by that ear.

A helmet positionable on a user's head, comprising:

• a top helmet shell having at least a partially open shell front, a shell top and a shell rear;
• a skirt attached to said shell and extendible down over the user's ears, said skirt having a skirt opening;
• and
• a hearing assembly attached inside of said skirt, said hearing assembly including an ear cup defining an enclosed hearing chamber and a hearing conduit communicating said hearing chamber with said skirt opening, said conduit extends rearwardly relative said shell;
• and
• wherein when said helmet is on the user's head, said ear cup fits around one of the user's ears and reduces transmission of undesirable wind noises to that ear, and said conduit communicates that ear with the outside of the helmet such that sounds can be transmitted and heard by that ear.

A helmet positionable in an operative position on a user's head, comprising:

• a helmet shell having opposite left and right shell sides, an at least partially open shell front, a shell top, and a shell rear;
• wherein when in the operative position, said shell sides extend down over the user's ears and said shell front defines a user through-viewing area;
• left and right ear cups supported by and inside of said helmet shell;
• wherein when in the operative position, said left and right ear cups fit over the user's left and right ears, respectively, both forming tight seals against the user's head to block the transmission of wind noises to the ears;
• a left ventilation tube connected to said left cup to provide ventilating air to the user's left ear, when in the operative position;
• a right ventilation tube connected to said right cup to provide ventilating air to the user's right ear, when in the operative position;
• a left hearing tube connected to said left cup to allow traffic sounds to reach the user's left ear;
• when in the operative position, said left hearing tube extending rearwardly relative said shell;
• and
• a right hearing tube connected to said right cup to allow traffic sounds to reach the user's right ear;
• when in the operative position, said right hearing tube extending rearwardly relative said shell.
