Yep highly recommended u either going to get tinnitus or not if u not has it for years u probably wont. My dad rode for years never got it I rode for one year on my first bigish bike a vfr400 and have had it since, mines bot so bad yet the noise in the office is loud enough so i dont noitce it but when its quiet u hear this light rining/buzzing very annyoing.
I do have a hearing loss as well inherited from my Mum so maybe a weakness there, so now i always wear them
I use howard leight ones laser light flo pink/yellow
Top tip rather than licking them u vaseline for a real tight seal avalible in little tins
