Bikers warned to wear earplugs and avoid lifetime of tinnitus
Bikers worldwide are being urged to use earplugs on every ride to prevent permanent hearing damage and tinnitus.

Standard helmets alone cannot adequately shield riders from these harmful noise levels. Prolonged exposure without hearing protection can lead to irreversible inner-ear damage, causing chronic tinnitus (a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears) with no cure. The good news is that wearing proper earplugs can dramatically reduce this risk without hindering a rider’s ability to hear traffic cues or enjoy the ride.
