Worth noting that some people (like me) have weird or skinny ear canals. My ENT guy has told me this different times and I have extreme issues keeping compressible foam plugs in my ears. The very soft silicone (or similar material) plugs work best for me. The foam ones wedge their way out of my ears most of the time.

I will try that next time I use em. I still use them when killing ground squirrels with my 22WMR. Its a bit harsh without some protection.

Sorry. I just skipped to the last page. I have two pair of custom made ear plugs that was made from a mold just for my ears from my work place before I retired. They work great. I would recommend that you have some made just for your ears. Surely it does not cost much.

You are emitting the sound behind you for your fellow riders to absorb. Ask me why I know. 62 years and you ain't figured that out. Or. Maybe you never ride with others?https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...ind-noise.html

I use Alpine MusicSafe and MotoSafe earplugs.
MotoSafe ones are good for windnoise but still hearing exhaust, MusicSafe ones have more sound dampening, but less focus on wind noise.
The huuuge downside to the MotoSafe ones is that they require a special little tool to put them into your ears, and if you put them with the tail at the wrong angle, good luck getting the damn thing out of your ear.

I use these, they come with three different filters. I use the middle filter. My exhaust is on the loud side, Boarzilla. I have foam ones as well but always use these. https://www.amazon.com/EarPeace-Moto...s%2C150&sr=8-5 I hear traffic noise no problem. I have a Sena Calvalry bluetooth helmet and I hear my tunes.
