Ear plugs and full lids...

[alanmcorcoran]

Be interested in hearing from you folks with full face helmets whether you ride with earplugs or not. I rode the GZ today for about 40 minutes or so, followed immediately by an hour and a half on the Strat. After I got home, I had a little background ringing, like you might have after going to a loud club or a rock concert. I didn't think I needed to worry about my hearing with the full helmet, but now I'm not so sure.

My hearing isn't the greatest to begin with - I went to many a loud concert/loud club in the seventies with no ear protection, and right up until recently with only partial protection, so I have to be careful going forward. Plus my dad has worn two gigantic hearing aids for the last ten years.
