Don't forget to wear ear plugs once you lose your hearing you will not be able to replace it and it is a nice thing to be able to hear. A set of decent ear plugs can reduce the noise by as much as 25DB which as I mentioned before means an exponential decrease in the rate of damage to your ears.
You don't have to go over board just get a simple set from Rona/Walmart or similar big box store and plug them in before you ride.
It takes five extra seconds causes no discomfort during the ride, it will actually make you more relaxed because most people when they are exposed to noise bunch up and get tense. This means its more fatiguing to ride and harder to focus on the individual dangers of riding or the idiot that just merged in and didn't see you.
Remember its not just your ears we are talking about but also your comfort and safety...wear your earplugs...or get a set for your riding its worth.
How much does a hearing aid go for nowadays? That's how much minus 2-5$ is what you save.
