I can't understand people who plug in earbuds when driving ,M/cycling, cycling, running etc, it removes one of your most important senses. Lets face it you you need all your senses when driving in todays conditions. For one thing you won't hear emergency vehicles coming that's for sure
Agree with you, especially runners and cyclists, but on a motorbike I have to disagree.
Hearing is easily damaged and riding a bike with a crash helmet at speed generates sound levels that damage hearing. My ENT Consultant strongly advises wearing sound reducing earplugs.
I started wearing them in 2000...the damage was already done.
I had hearing aids fitted today.
