Earplugs for Noise Reduction
When should you wear Motorcycle Ear Plugs?

worn around any loud environmental noise, such as when around machinery, power
tools, lawn equipment, gunfire, aircrafts, explosives, sporting events,
motorcycles, and loud music to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.

causing noise-induced hearing loss. The Occupational Safety and Health

used by those engaging in loud recreational activites as well.
