When you're driving a car, do you always keep the windows down for the same reason? Without earplugs, most of what you're hearing is wind noise anyway.

I get disposable foam plugs at the drug store. They're good for 30 dB of noise reduction.

Just bought a reusable pair off earplugsonline.com.

Cost $5 (shipped), and on other motorcycle forums people seem to swear by these things.

Ill be the guinea pig and test them out.

They were only 10bucks at cyclegear

This (although I don't play my music very low, so I'm probably trading one kind of ear damage for another.)
