G'day all

Bought a SHOEI Hornet dual purpose to compliment the XTR..

I have been wearing a SHOEI 1100 for the past three to four years and it's the best helmet I have owned....

So bought the Hornet, same size and similar lining.

Have only worn it two or three times and each time I get the most terrible pain in one ear. So painful that I can barely remove the helmet it hurts so much.

It's weird because the hornet is basically the same as the 1100 apart from the longer chin and visor.

I am really upset (in a pissed off way) that this helmet is giving me such pain when I was so looking forward to using it.

Has anybody else experienced pain in the ear/s when using a new helmet?
It's almost like the pain you get when you swim too deep but just continuous..

Any suggestions?

Thanks
