Prevent hearing damage

After a good motor ride do you still have the feeling being on the highway? During motorcycling hair cells in the ear get to endure a lot of noise and there’s not enough time to repair. After riding do you have a beep in your ear, then you can take for granted that some hair cells have died: a definitive hearing damage. Alpine hearing protection can help you prevent this.
Your motor, the traffic and intercom

It’s dangerous when you’re completely isolated of your environment and the traffic that surrounds you. Also you do want to keep hearing your motor! This is the reason Alpine hearing protectors have special filters, that filter only harmful wind noise.
Which risk a motor cyclist is running?
The safe and statutory limit to which the hearing may be exposed is 80 decibel. Regular noise above 80 decibels will irrevocably lead to hearing damage. According to (police) tests it appeared that wind noise under the helmet exceeds this limit way to far and that thus already during a short ride unconsciously you’re running the great risk of hearing damage:
