After motorcycling, do you have problems with ringing in your ears? This is due to the noise to which you are exposed. In particular, even at relatively low speeds the rushing of the wind is already enough to cause hearing damage. In addition, the noise means you become tired more quickly. And if you are tired, you are able to concentrate less on the traffic. In short, it is important to protect your ears on the motorcycle properly. Whether you use your motorcycle to get to work every day, or just do an occasional tour. Hearing damage can occur in just one ride. And the damage is irreversible.
