Try a hearing specialist
As someone who has hearing issues, I suggest you get an evaluation from an audiologist or other hearing specialist. You indicated having the problem when the engine puts out certain noises. The hearing specialist may be able to identify what frequencies are giving you issues and and recommend solutions.
Other than that, be sure your ear plugs are rated 33 or 34db (or NNR 32 in Canada). Many of the ear plugs sold are only good for 20db and the difference is substantial.
After using machinery, riding motorcycles and being a musician for more than 30 years and rarely using ear plugs, I now wear hearing aids.
A different helmet may or may not help. Please get yourself checked out by a professional.
