Earplugs
3/4 helmet and face shield
No windshield ever for me

Wind noise is the worst. I even have my wife wearing them.

Taller windshield and fork deflectors ("fangs") should fix you up.

To get the wind higher get an LRS shield, the recurve will make a big difference, have several tints. Would definitely wear ear plugs especially since you already are having problems.

I have been discussing this with some others, mine too is a 2014 SG.
I had the same problem, ear plugs helped a little, maybe.
I put on a set of Rinehart slip-ons and the problem is gone. I don't even wear ear plugs at highway speeds anymore. I think it is the tone and frequency of the stock system. The Rineharts are only slightly louder, but way more comfortable.
No more issues with the ears, nor the headaches afterwards.

I have a set of molded ear plugs that I had when I was working at the mill and they work great. and besides, the mill paid for them so why not.

The wind noise kills my years since I was a kid. I use to put cotton in my ears until one time the cotton went in to far and I couldn't get it out. Had to go to an ear specialist to get it out. I got a set of molded ear plugs from him.
No more wind noise. Only thing, I have to soak them in hot water for a while. So they spread out better in the ear canal.
