Replying to I have a stupid helmet problem

I have the Smith Holt. It’s a great helmet, and came with removable ear flaps that hold speakers. Well, I removed the ear flaps to use it as a skateboard helmet during the summer, and I guess I lost them or something so now my helmet doesn’t cover my ears which is kind of a must have on the mountain. Seems like a common problem with an obvious solution but backcountry.com chat just told me to buy a new helmet. Thoughts?
