Mouldable silicone earplugs, originally developed for surfing, now used for everything and available at all drugstores. Love'em! Great for noisy hotel rooms too.

You will still need ear plugs if you don't want wind noise.

Prolonged exposure to wind noise will lead to hearing loss.

And it's annoying when you're doing 80 for hours at a time. But if you like it...

I especially like ear plugs this time of year, keeps me from getting ear aches from the lower temps.

Very true, same as standing in front of the speakers at a rock concert for 2 hours!

With moderation I find it OK. But sure, 80 hours at a time earplugs come handy.
