Motorcycle Ear Plugs

No matter how expensive, well made, padded and well-fitting your helmet is there will always be wind noise. Other factors which contribute are the aerodynamics of the bike and helmet, the liner of the helmet, and of course the weather!

In some circumstances and at certain frequencies, the helmet can actually increase the amount of noise.

Many bikers wear ear plugs to protect their ears, and a lot choose molded ear plugs.

They’re certainly effective in terms of comfort and performance, and although they’re more expensive than off-the-shelf ones, they do tend to last a lot longer (5 years or so if looked after), so the long-term value is excellent.

If spending a long time on the bike, perhaps touring, then the last thing you need is to be distracted by is that annoying, uncomfortable feeling in your ear or ears of the foam, silicone or wax ear plug putting pressure on the insides of your ear.

Apart from just the irritation, it can also lead to infection, something you don’t need on a touring holiday or in your day to day work or commute.

With molded ear plugs you won’t even notice they’re there.
