Earplugs for Motorcycling – An Affordable Yet Effective Way to Protect Your Hearing and Enhance Riding Comfort
Motoruitrusting by Takatalo.fi / Antti R., 30.6.2025
The wind noise around your helmet can reach up to 100 dB – just 15 minutes at highway speeds can potentially cause permanent hearing damage.
Whether you're riding a motorcycle, ATV, motocross bike, or snowmobile, earplugs are the simplest and most cost-effective solution to protect your hearing and improve riding comfort.
Why Isn't a Helmet Enough to Protect Your Hearing?
- Air turbulence and wind noise are generated at the edges of the helmet – loud noise reaches your ears even with a high-quality helmet.
- Modern helmets effectively dampen mechanical sounds but do not significantly reduce high frequencies that can damage the inner ear.
- Noise levels increase exponentially with speed; at 120 km/h, it's already about 98 dB.
Benefits of Earplugs for Motor Enthusiasts
- Less "hearing fatigue" – fewer headaches and improved concentration.
- Enhanced riding comfort – even long trips feel lighter.
- Safety – you can still hear traffic sounds, sirens, and engine notes.
- Affordability – the cost of earplugs versus expensive helmet upgrades.

How to Choose the Right Attenuation Level?

By switching filters, you can tailor the earplugs to your riding style and noise level.
You can also purchase MotoSafe earplugs separately, choosing either Race or Tour plugs.
