Ear plugs again...

[EazyDuz]

I know another thread on it but was just wondering if there are any out there which dont muffle sound, but just cancel out the harmful frequencies.
Like the kind of earplugs you might wear to a concert so you can still clearly hear the music but wont damage your hearing?
Ive tried 2 different types, one is the memory foam ones you roll with your fingers and put in, and the others are those ribbed type ones with little ridges on them made of rubber, kind of xmas tree shaped.
Both just made everything very quiet, and tbh i'd rather not wear them than not hear whats around me.

Unlikely, if you're going to plug your ears, it's going to effect all sound. Also to stop the wind noise and such they're gonna have to be a snug fit.

Use a pair of in ear headphone's don't have to be in use just in your ear's will cancel out most harmful noises but you will still be able to hear

I think ill just put my windjammer back on, seems like the only option to reduce volume of sound without muffling the fuck out of it

as usual i cant recommend these enough..

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Pair-Baratec-Rubber-Ear-Plugs-23db-Packed-Individually-Defenders-Defence-New-/130609770907?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item1e68f2f19b

for the price and indeed for any price imo they are brilliant.

of course general noise is reduced but they cut out wind roar brilliantly and i can still chat to my mates at the lights, hear cars, etc..

^^^Those are the other type ive tried which again blocked out all sound and just made it muffled to the point of dangerousness.

Look good but aint cheap - let us know how you get on with them?

[slamminorion]

im using these:

https://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=B1809001

Use them in clubs primarily but find they work well out on the bike

You could also try these as well

both are expensive but well worth it in my opinion

These don't muffle sound as they are designed for music

Ive got an idea, ill trim the ones i have down so they look like those music ones, they look the same except mine have a couple of extra ridges on them, ill jsut cut them off and they will look identical to the expensive ones, probably made of the same stuff as well.

A bit of info.
https://www.hondahornet.co.uk/earplug.html

Fairly informative, easy to read.

You don't need to hear when you are driving, it simply isn't necessary. If you feel you need to hear then you need to focus on improving your visual observations, not avoid wearing ear plugs. You can't select frequencies to cut out as you need to block out all audible frequencies.

Ear plugs are good, but if you can find a way to put some more foam in the helmet to block out wind from reaching the plugs then all the better. Wind noise is really, really fatiguing, as well as causing hearing damage.

The Alpine Motosafe earplugs arrived yesterday and were tried today @ silly speeds on a windy motorway.

Haven't got anything to compare them to, except not using them, but they significantly reduced the wind noise along with the exhaust noise.

I could still hear the engine, it was much clearer and "nicer" sounding.

My ears arent ringing and I didnt feel blind or off balanced when using them.

Worth the £20? Dunno, nothing to test them against
Am i happy with my purchase? Yeppers.

I have been using these

https://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/quies-silicone-ear-plugs_1_178714.html

after a long run to Campbeltown left my right ear aching. They can be molded into any shape which changes the amount of sound they block
from just covering the outer ear to actually entering the ear canal. Being silicone they also dont pick up wax, dirt or moisture.

I did find i needed to adjust them deeper when on my mates ZZR as it was a damn sight louder than my ER6.
