I always rode my Harleys with a screen in place (and a helmet on), if I was riding out with a large group of bikes, as usually following in the wake of loud exhaust pipes and wind buffeting on occasion would leave a ringing in my ears at the end of the day. On one occasion the ringing didn't stop within a few hours, so off to the hospital emergency, talked to their ear, nose and throat consultant (a South African biker) and apparently there was nothing they could do, the ringing would either go of its own accord, or I had permanent ear damage, Fortunately after a very worrying 3 days it went, but as the consultant advised from that time on I always wore ear plugs under the helmet. It isolated most of the wind and exhaust noise but allowed me to still hear the muted background traffic and my wife riding pillion..
