That's the thing................wind noise.

Lately my ears are killing me after riding at highway speeds, the wind is just amazing. I'm not sure if it's the different windshield this season, or if I'm just getting old and the abuse is catching up to me.

I'm going to pick up one of those custom fit ear plug kits that you do yourself, they are like $18 on Ebay. I'm debating calling a local Audiologist and making an appointment to get checked out and have a good set made......I just hate spending $$ on doctors visits.......LOL

The cheap throw a ways. I found the orange foam one the softest. Many times I take one cotton ball and pull it apart and put half in each ear. It's just enough to cut down on wind noise.

 

I used the cheap throw aways for years. They work OK but I recently had some custom muscian earplugs made. What a difference. Way more comfortable and I actually hear better with them then the disposable ones as they are designed to keep the ear damaging noise out but you can still hear very well. Well worth the $100.

 

SureFire Sonic Defenders reduce noise above 80db. Very comfortable and affordable.

A lot of that depends on what full face helmet you wear. My Shoei RF1000 is very quiet with the shield fully closed. There's hardly any air noise at all. Even cracked open on the first notch the air noise is minimal.

 

I got theswe 6 months ago and have been very satisfied

Agreed, this website is very good. I bought these "Windtamers" about 3 months ago and have been very happy:

Yes, I am a cheap SOB....but they work well, very comfortable and were less than $15 including shipping to TX.

I use the super cheap foam ones that you have to roll between your fingers to shrink them down to fit in my ear.

They work just fine for me and work with my budget too!

For short trips around town I don't wear um, but for long freeway hauls earplugs are the only way to hook.
