I'm 56 and want to protect what is left of my hearing after decades of Rock n Roll, loud jobs, etc. I want to use ear plugs to cut wind noise in both my FF helmet and half helmet. Does anyone have a recommendation for good over-the-counter (i.e. drugstore) earplugs that cut the wind noise but still allow you to hear sirens, traffic, pipes, etc.?

 

I use the yellow E-A-R roll-up ones and they work great. I buy them off the web in a 200 count box. Google them and you can check them out.

 

Sure, you can use the ear plugs available at the corner pharmacy. There are usually a few to choose from and they do a decent job. But, for real protection visit an audiologist. They can hook you up with a custom molded set of ear plugs that will comfortably protect your hearing. Expect to pony up about $75... well worth it in the long run.

 

I use EAR push in foam plugs...

You can find them on Ebay. I think I paid $40.00 for 200 pair

Hearos from any drug store. They are blue in color. Basic foam ear plugs. Works just fine for me regarding wind noise.
Cheers,

I use the rubber plugs, mostly found in sporting swim section.. reusable.. work good

 

I got some custom molded earplugs that were a pain to put in, and I couldn't hear traffic. I use these, they are comfortable, inexpensive and reusable. I can vary effects by changing size of plug:
