Only when the windshield is off (almost exclusively around town when its warm. Shield is always on when I'm on the freeway). Wind noise is just too painful, and I have friends who are nearly deaf because they wont wear ear protection.
I've got a couple of custom molded ones I got from the Intl Moto Show,
http://www.fit-ear.com , premium version, $60+ tax for each pair at the show.

I do when I am on the freeway, ride seems more mellow without all of the air buffeting in my ears.
Thanks,

StreetGlide - No
Deuce - Yes, if going above about 60mph for extended period.
