Custom Hearing Protection

Custom Hearing Protection for Motorcyclists

There are more than 5 million registered motorcycle owners in the United States. According to a recent US DOT study, noise from motorcycles regularly register between 70 and 128 dBA which is enough to cause permanent hearing damage. When throttled up, the sound can be sustained near the upper range.

For unhelmeted motorcyclists, Wind rushing past your ears while riding your motorcycle can also lead to hearing loss. For the unhelmeted motorcyclist, it only takes 4 minutes of exposure to the sound of a motorcycle at anything other than idle for hearing loss to begin. Motorcycle earplugs reduce wind noise and are designed to be comfortably worn under your helmet.
