I have BTE hearing aids and I do not ride with them, I use earplugs or earbuds all the time. The aids bring too much noise in.
Mine are also bluetooth compatible, but that requires wearing the bluetooth receiver on a cord around my neck or in a pocket.
There is a big thread hear with lots of comments from HA users.

I too attempted the use of hearing aids while wearing my helmet. I have had both in-ear aids and behind the ear models, all state of the art and supposedly the smallest available. Both in ear and behind the ear models created unacceptable pressure in my helmet. If you do wear them riding, be very careful when removing your helmet to insure they do not become dislodged and disappear on you. Don't ask me how I know.
Last year I was fitted with the new Lyric hearing aids which are completely in the ear and 100% invisible. They are placed by the doctor and remain in place for approx. 100 days without removal at which time the doctor removes the old ones and places new ones with fresh batteries. I absolutely love them and can finally wear my helmet with my hearing aids in place and again enjoy my music, etc. from my bluetooth helmet speakers. Besides being trouble free, invisible and a god-send for use with my helmet, the sound quality is better than any of my prior hearing aids which I was updating every year or so in order to constantly obtain the best, state-of-the art devices out there.

Thanks Moot, I've been wearing inner ear HA on the bike for a couple of years. When I got them 12 years ago (I know, it's time for new ones) I had one of the 3 circuits programmed to mute for when riding a M/C. I finally went to the VA this week and I have new HA coming in October. The new ones are behind the ear and come with bluetooth and a "transmitter" that I can set out in a conference room, etc. I'm wondering if I can pair the HA with audio on the GT? I'll post if i can...
