I actually had some custom earplugs made earlier today (Turns out there was an E.A.R. Inc provider just 60 miles from home). Just $55 and supposedly they'll last a couple years, being custom molded to my ears, they're incredibly comfortable, and I won't be able to use the too lazy to pick up more plugs excuse and just go without (which I've been doing way too often recently).
Otherwise, it seems somewhat ironic that I coat myself in hundreds of dollars of protective gear from head to toe to protect myself when something goes wrong, but I hardly worried about protecting the one thing that's being damaged constantly as long as things are going right.
I went on a long ride with them today, and it feels much better then the cheap CVS foam plugs I used occasionally before, and the drastic reduction in wind noise is heaven. Although, yeah, I definitely ride notably faster wearing earplugs right now
The world seems so slower when you don't hear it yelling at you so loudly. I approve ^_^
