So, considering the structure of the head and ears for creatures like cats, dogs, and bears, if one were to make a race with those types of ears (The stereotype cat person, essentially) I am curious how headgear might function.
I know glasses might be a problem, and a full helm might cause issues too. I figure perhaps they could fold their ears back if they wanted to put an actual helmet on...

Could you give more details? For example, a motorcycle helmet needs minimal padding and a snug fit (too much padding compresses under the stress of a crash) and unprotected ears would be shredded. A football helmet could have more padding and little to no ear protection. Combat helmets could vary.

If the creature needs its ears to function well in battle, or for ritual or cosmetic show offs, you need holes. Helmets for military dogs have them:

As for the helmets, there are three separate solutions I can see.
For the very light helmets, it could be just a comparatively narrow metal plate that goes from forehead to the back of the head, leaving the sides of the head and ears open. Modern military helmets that are adapted to big headphones give a similar profile: https://images.app.goo.gl/ZKBdTbA4mUdsfwKt8
For inspiration, you can also take a look at medieval horse armor. House marks often were formed to protect the ears.

Some medieval helmets were quite roomy inside, and heavily padded. So changing the form of the padding, you would be able to fit the ears inside without much discomfort.
