Sorry to hear about the neck buddy, hope theres something they can do for it like cutting some pieces out to relieve the pain or whatever they come up with, i suppose heads are heavy enough with a sore neck without adding a helmet and wind resistance,
I wouldnt lose all hope though, i had a back operation and never thought id be able to ride a bike and a year and a half later im pretty much pain free on the bike and regularly training in the gym and have got my life back,
Only advice i can give is dont look on the internet coz only the people with bad experiences bother to put stuff on there, as if to prove the point i promised to write about my success to offset the negativity but i still havent done it,
On the ear plug front, i wore ear plugs once and ended up getting an ear infection and now ive decided not to wear them and hope my schuberth lid keeps the damaging noise out,
Probably not sensible but im a sunny weather day tripper & not exposed every day so its a risk im willing to take, i dont understand how technology hasnt managed to make some cup like ear defenders for inside helmets instead of all these poke in the ear jobs as all medical advice points toward not inserting anything in the ears like cotton buds etc.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
