Thanks,

I use ear bud headphones, the ones with the rubber plug style seal.

Sometimes that's even worse! There have been some recent studies that say the way the air ventilates through the helmets can sometimes increase the decibel rating inside the helmet.

I just use the disposable ones from Wal-Mart (same ones I use while at the shooting range). Reduces the sound of the wind quite a bit, helps alot.

I'm going to check out Walmart and see what I can find there. I don't want the orange or green ones that you squish down and push in the ear.

I found some other ones that are suppsed to be good according to what I read online, and they are like $10-$20 for a pair. I did see a kit that makes the custom molded ones for like $120.

My ears are shot already from many years of high-end car audio, high-end home audio, concerts, and loud toys over the years. But now I'd like to protect what little bit I have left.

Same here and I believe they have one of the highest decibel rating, around 32.

Silencio silicone shooting earplugs. Picked 'em up at my local sporting goods shop. Work great!

After being a AB on many flightdecks, then being in the power industry around turbines for many years. I now use ear-plugs. Ya I let the horse out of the barn when I was younger cause I know I have hearing issues. I have some custom made units, their more comfy to me. Fleshtone, not as obvious.
And I even wear them at work. Where I should have been wearing them in the begining.
