Peter - you can get earplugs with speakers in that only block out wind noise, nothing else, so you hear all the sounds you need to hear. I would argue that they are safer as ofttimes the sounds you need to hear are blocked out by wind noise!!!!!
Got mine from an audiologist about 10 years ago for use on my motorbike. Now only have the mog and use them most of the time. Don't know what brand they are, but they work!!!
