Re: helmet no ear correction

[Guest guest]

My son started with a CVA measurement of 8mm, 6mm (for something

else...don't remember what), and 3mm (ears). Even though my son's

head (by numbers) don't seem that off it was noticeable to others!

Good luck with your decision...it is a hard decision but once you

see results you will know you made the right choice.
