I’m an “experienced” rider with quite a case of tinnitus that I attribute to several decades of riding without earplugs. Started using custom moulded ear plugs several years ago with good results. Was wearing a HJC modular helmet and also had a Shoei full coverage helmet that I wore occasionally; full coverage helment was markedly more quiet so I plunked down a lot of money for a Shoei modular helmet. Not appreciably better than the HJC modular helmet but cost more than twice as much.
My personal opinion - always use ear plugs and if helmet noise is a concern to you then choose a full coverage helmet. Good fit matters more than cost.
Hearing loss is a cumulative rather than abrupt phenomenon, and it sucks.
