I wear ear plugs on every single ride...no matter how short. I have for years. It took some getting used to at first...but after a ride or two it was much much better than without.

I wear earplugs all the time. It actually reduces the fatigue from riding.

I wear earplugs every time I ride also. You can check the pockets of every jacket I own, my leathers, and my Aerostich, and you will find 2-3 pairs of earplugs in them.

foam earplugs or noise canceling earbuds at all times.

I always wore them on longer trips but on my short 10 mile ride to work, it was hit or miss.

32db earplugs go in whenever i ride. Even when I'm just going around the block.

I started wearing them about 10-12 years ago; after my doc told me I had SIGNIFICANT hearing loss in my right ear. I had always worn plugs and muffs for shooting, but had not liked the ambient noise reduction earplugs caused for riding. I felt it was cancelling out too much warning noise from cages creeping up on me; but after wearing them now for years I've found that I can adjust to the noise reduction and discern relative changes in car swoosh noise.

Too late to do anything about the existing damage, but enough to prevent much further.....
