The way I see it, with ear plugs you aren't really hearing much anyway. Myself I have hearing loss from birth so once I have the ear plugs in with my quiet(ish) helmet on I can barely hear anything at all. There's little difference to me at that point especially when I'm just commuting. I do agree that you shouldn't listen to music if you aren't comfortable with it though, some songs on peoples playlists have a habit of bringing out your inner hooligan which can be questionable when you're on a bike.
