Riding without ear plugs while this is going on will make you completely deaf in a heartbeat.

80% + high freq hearing loss over my lifetime of riding. I found out a year ago.

These were recommended to me. I wear them on any run longer than 10 minutes. I can hear music, traffic, voices with no issue.
You can spend literally hundreds on custom molded. These were a fraction of the cost and recommended to me by the Doctor I saw.

I wear custom made ear plugs that I had made at motorcycle show 3 years ago. Cut the wind noise completely but I can still hear traffic and people talking. I can actually hear my radio better while wearing the ear plugs.

I haven't gotten the Alpine Motosafe plugs yet but today I tried my custom plugs and Howard Leight disposable plugs. I felt they both gave equal noise protection even though I thought the custom ones would be quieter. I found it interesting that when just walking around the custom plugs seemed to block much more sound but once I was riding I felt that the disposable plugs were every bit as quiet. At times I felt that there was even more wind noise with the custom plugs. The disposable ones were actually more comfortable (probably due to their softness). I'm glad I only spent 69 bucks for the custom ones rather than a couple of hundred because the disposable ones did a great job. Looking forward to trying the Motosafe plugs. I can say that after wearing ear plugs today I'll never again ride without them, at least not until my Alzheimer's sets in and I forget them.
