Ear Plugs
Hi Guys
Having some problems with Tinitus ( Yeh Yeh I'm an old fart ) whilst riding my scoot and am looking at wearing some ear plugs to hopefully help the situation.
Does any one wear ear plugs if so do they help with Tinitus and what brand/type do you recommend.
Thanks

RE: Ear Plugs
I know exactly what you mean, came back from a trip and my ears seemed fine, went to bed and woke up because I thought my smoke detector was going off, Ears have been ringing non stop for about 3 months, im wearing ear protection now, but apparently the damage is already done.

Try the Hearos brand, sold at your local Wal-Mart. They have a high NRR rating (32dB) and are super-soft. They will definitely block any wind noise (buffeting) you might be getting. I've worn them for a few years now and it really helps to eliminate the weary feeling you may get after a long ride.

I agree with the others, get some of the cheapies for now..Wife and Idid the custom ones that are molded to you ear..I like those..Sounds funny but I can hear the stereo better..
That is when I am wearing my half helmet...I started wearing a 3/4 with a face shield and have a tough time withthem..if they move around you can't adjust them unless you take the helmet off...Some information on this web site that might help...
Hearing loss will sneak up on you before you know it...Funny, none of the guys I ride with wear a helmet or use ear protection...Guess I'm the odd ball in the group...

I've been dealing with severe Tinitus for 30 some odd years now. LOUD ringing in both ears 24/7, and substantial hearing loss. I did spring for the expensive hearing protection that is custom fitted to try and preserve what hearing I have left. I wear them every time I ride.

A b40 rocket went off about 4 feet from me in Vietnam. I have the ringing in both ears and deaf in my left one with only 60% left in my right one. Take care of them you only get 2.
I use a type of ear muff on my ears and use the ear phones for my radio. Helps a lot. I can't use ear plugs because the left ear has grown skin over the inside because of the damage.

As there are many different causes of tinnitus (not all are noise related), earplugs may or may not help.
