So your telling me if you stop riding and 2 years later your hearing doesn't sharpen? If it does, then it causes no damage.
Also, as you get older your hearing like everyting else degrades. I'm wondering if they are taking this into account.
Ive been riding for 9 years w/o earplugs. My hearing is the same as before I started.
Do whatever u want to do, but there have been studies that disprove that earplugs do anything (unless the noise at that time is damaging).

I'm not going to stop riding for 2 years to test that, but I will say if it takes 2 YEARS for my hearing to return to normal, something's fuckin' damaged.
How do you know your hearing's the same? Have you had it tested 9 years ago and today to verify results across all hearable frequencies? Or do you just mean you don't notice a change in your hearing?
Where's a study that has shown earplugs do nothing? I'd like to read that.
