I have custom made ones the jelly type, wore them all the time when I had the SV as the exhausts were so damn load, but have to admit I don't wear them much on the ER as I can't hear anything and it feels a bit surreal.

after much nagging from the other half have started wearing ear plugs (now and again) however when I do have noticed that my fatigue levels have been reduced.......and when I wear them when out on the bike it does help reduce engine noise levels Laughing

I use the really really soft ear plugs that I got from well known bike shop in Cupar

use them when I can remember, the only problem is, when I wear them for a while then forget to put them in, I think the bike is making weird noises Crying or Very sad

Wear ear plugs every time I go out on bike, cannot go even a short distance without them. Wear the soft green ones now Moldex Pura-Fit 7700. Used to use Laser Lites. Main and only reason for change was they are supplied free at work and they changed. Being an engineer and working in a noisy environment for the last ... years I now have tintinnus and would not wish it on anybody. Look after your hearing now dont leave it till its too late. Angel

I try and remember, always set off with them but forget to put them back in if I stop and take my helmet off Sad

Still do that now and again Batman but have to stop, usually after 100yds, and go through all the bother of refitting them. Gaah
