Best Earplugs?

[j3gq_imp]

I think I've tried most of the popular types and cannot stand wearing any for more than 10 minutes. My hearing is about ruined and at my age I don't worry too much about it. I'd like a helmet with some sealing around the ear.

In general, I sympathize with your attitude, redbirds. But the problem is that your hearing today is probably still quite good - so there is still you might loose. The way hearing problems develop over time, it's the long end that matters. A little more deaf at age 70 goes unnoticed, but translates into totally "isolated" from your environment 10 years on. And even modern hearing aids can only do so much.
In 1000s of interviews by Haward many decades ago, they discovered that the impact on your life by not hearing is substantially more severe than that of blindness. So bear with me and think again.

As to your other point, no, I can’t guess. Maybe you’d care to enlighten me?

Sorry I missed your question for a while. This site is all about people who need advice as to how to choose your music (artistic intentions ? musical advice ?) and how to hear it "again" when you're slowly turning deaf... , please don't ask. That's why I said it's about "hearing more", not less. Cheerio !

This is a nice article on ear plugs, the effects on your ear, comparisons with a BMW K100 with/without a screen. I drastically lowered the helmet noise on my Tiger by adding a little top lip screen extension ($18 cheapo from Ali-Express). The difference was night and day as it just pushed the airflow up a couple of inches over the helmet. I do find the naked CB quite good though as the airflow is clean.
