1. Hearing Aids (amplified hearing devices)? or:

2. Ear Plugs (attenuating hearing devices less sound - 20db or -30db)?

3. If Hearing Aids, did they have specific noise canceling programed in?

May want to provide some background and what your hearing specialist recommended/provided.

My audiologist told me not to wear my hearing aids when riding, shooting, or doing things that I know will be loud and irritating. Personally I would not wear hearing aids while riding. Unless your hearing loss is so great that you may want to consider something to cover the hearing aids to calm down exterior noise.
