If I understand correctly, a "noise emergency" is NOT riding a MC. As an example I went in Walmart last night and the greeter was blasting rain off the shopping carts with a very loud elec handheld blower(we have the same one to blow off a deck) & I immediately stuck my finger in my near side ear. When I walked past an outdoor music stage at the SEC BB tourney last yr in NO,LA with speakers that were large & loud I stuck both fingers in my ears.
It isn't rocket science & it does work! Like most folks I don't walk down the street with ear plugs in my pocket or protector muffs on my side. Since we like to hate on loud pipes here, I'll also say that I do this on loud Harleys at times as they pass by. Lets stay real with this hearing protection thing. Cotton balls simply will not protect your hearing like you need.
Exchanging info as to what brands of proper plugs or muffs (plugs in particular for mc's)are comfortable, attenuate noise effectively and who sells them , etc., is purposeful.
