Don\'t shout Im not deaf
Or will you be in 10/20 years time . How many riders go out and ride the bike occasionally with out ear plugs. I admit I have done, so as not to "waste all that lovely noise". But just how much damage do we do to our ears. PLENTY believe me. OK so Im a little older than some on here and its a well known fact that as you get older your hearing slowly goes down hill. Its not only the hairs on your head that decrease but also the hair like structures (nerve endings)called the Organ of Corti within the Cochlea that can be damaged . Sound vibrations by the time there reach the inner ear are 20 times greater than when there began in the eardrum. Maybe now you can see where this is going.
Popping in ear defender's then makes sense and it will stop me having to shout when Its my turn to buy the beers in 4D
