They do sell Motorcycle Helmet in Walmart too.
I wore helmet when I rode moped back then. It was a full headed helmet. What I did was to removed the "ear cushion" which goes around the ear. I can simply rip it out and put helmet on (This require a little stretching while pulling helmet into head without touching HA). It fits nicely w/ HA. Or you can cut bottom of "donut" cushion to make it look like upside down "U" shape so You can slide in easily w/ HA.
I have seen ripped out or missing ear cushions in helmet at Walmart that was on "reduced priced" shelf. I bet some hearing people had same issue with the helmet that they have "dumbo" ears.
More expensive helmet may have better design that fits you nicely or configurable to fit for your comfort. My Uncle had a nice red helmet with vents to keep his head cool while riding. He said it is very expensive.
I don't have pics that you requested. I DO have 1/2 helmet that belongs to my friend who own 74 Harley in my garage. I didn't have problem putting it on w/ my CI. I prefer full head helmet for face/chin protection.
