The Best Earplugs for Motorcycle Riders: Protecting Your Hearing on the Road

The Overlooked Danger: Wind Noise and Hearing Loss

Motorcycle riders are no strangers to the roar of the engine and the thrill of the open road. But while helmets protect against crashes, they don’t shield your ears from damaging wind noise. Riders are regularly exposed to high decibel levels, often without realizing the long-term impact on their hearing.

Riding at highway speeds (65+ mph) can expose your ears to noise levels of 95-105 dB—which is well above the 85 dB threshold where permanent hearing damage begins with prolonged exposure.

That’s why high-quality motorcycle earplugs are a must-have for any serious rider. But not all earplugs are created equal. Let’s break down why you need them, what to look for, and how Spares delivers the best option for riders.

How Loud is Too Loud? Noise Levels on the Road

Even with a full-face helmet, wind noise alone can reach dangerous levels, leading to permanent hearing loss over time.

The Problem with Standard Earplugs for Riders

Many riders avoid wearing earplugs because they think it will block too much sound or make it harder to hear traffic. Here’s why typical earplugs aren’t ideal:

🚫 Foam earplugs block all sound – This makes it difficult to hear important cues like sirens or approaching vehicles.
🚫 Basic silicone plugs can loosen at high speeds – Wind pressure can dislodge loose-fitting earplugs, making them unreliable.
🚫 Cheap earplugs cause discomfort – Many designs create pressure and irritation, making long rides unbearable.

That’s where high-fidelity earplugs like Spares come in.
