Wear'em for 'bout everything: cuttin' lawn,, flyin', ridin'......
I dont wear them. I tried wearing them once, the orange foam type that I use for other things. I dont like them. I don't like the sound I end up with, a low frequency thrum. THAT actually bothers my ears more than the wind noise (full face HJC helmet) which I don't find objectionable.
Ideas?
Start saving up for hearing aids.
I find the low noise conducted through my bones when I am wearing ear plugs annoying...
Again, my complaint isn't that I can't hear the road or other noises, it was the din that DID accompany wearing them.
Does anyone know of any online outlets for buying ear plugs?
I guess I'm going to have to look around some more and find something that will work for me.
OK OK OK! UNCLE!
Actually, just got a "trial pack" of QuietEar plugs from the EarPlugStore.com

They are the bell shaped, soft rubber type. Their trial set consists of 3 pairs in sm,md,lg. My wife and I tried them this morning over coffee. The large works for me (although the md or average as the call it fit as well), the mediums fit her and the smalls will be perfect for my 9 year old.
I used them on the way to work today. Definitely a difference from the orange foamy type. They cut the noise way down, changed the sound I hear from the bike but didn't completely block everything, leaving me alone with the sounds in my head. I could still hear a little helmet/windshield whistle although it was very muffled. The high and low ranges of the engine sounds were cut, leaving just a mid range at a muffled level.
So, not objectionable. At least not for the 7 minutes I wore them this morning.
