Is your helmet responsible your hearing loss?
Have you even considered hearing protection on your bike? I do!

This also allows me to not have to wear ear plugs. Have you considered your ears when choosing your helmet? |
I wear earplugs. Helmets suck at protecting hearing

I prefer a well ventilated helmet. Ventilation means airflow, airflow means noise. Earplugs take away the issue. |
What?
I too wear earplugs or noise canceling earbuds |
Even with earplugs, some helmets are unbearable on long trips because of the vents or a visor that doesn't seal properly.

No, I rely on foam earplugs or a pair of etymotic er6i stereo buds to regulate the noise my ears have to endure. I learned the value/comfort of ear plugs a long time ago.

I generally use ear plugs on anything longer than a quick run around the block. local stuff I won't.
But I do have some hearing loss in my right ear, and I have been diagnosed with tinnitus. I believe that it has more to do with my profession than it does bikes. i used to run around shooting stuff, rifles, cannons, and stuff without earplus because I thought it was cool. Now I am seeing the error of my ways. |
