I started using them on long trips to cut down the wind noise on the highway. It has transformed the ride. And I find I am able to hear my wife better with them in. And I can still hear what's going on around me

That seems a great solution.

I rely on a flying helmet.
It’s fabric with a wool lining. (From the local farm shop).
Warm, cosy and muffles the sound.

ps. Don’t worry Keith; it still allows me to hear police sirens.
