MG, there's been occasional discussion on the forum about earplugs and noise protection. There's some discussion [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3056&pid=49040]here. I'm also sure Pterodactyl posted some links to articles on levels of wind noise in helmets, but I can't find them.
My occasional riding buddy, Pterodactyl, put me on to Bose's extraordinary in-ear noise cancelling headphones.

They're certainly not cheap, but they seriously reduce the level of noise both by fitting snugly in your ears and through the clever circuitry they employ. An added bonus is that you can use them to listen to music or instructions from a GPS without adding to the noise damage caused by wind. I now use them all the time and have no trouble getting them to stay put as I put on my helmet.
