Which risk a motor cyclist is running?
The safe and statutory limit to which the hearing may be exposed is 80 decibel. Regular noise above 80 decibels will irrevocably lead to hearing damage. According to (police) tests it appeared that wind noise under the helmet exceeds this limit way to far and that thus already during a short ride unconsciously you're running the great risk of hearing damage:

Not one helmet offers sufficient protection against. According to an extensive test of in the German leading motorcycling magazine Motorrad it appeared very clearly that not one helmet offers sufficient protection against the risk of hearing damage. Alpine MotoSafe is the best protection.
MotoSafe hearing protectors
The Alpine MotoSafe is also called the 'universal otoplastic'. MotoSafe consists of two universal hearing protectors and two different interchangeable filter sets. These special wind noise filters guarantee optimum protection whilst you can still hear ambient noises and can communicate clearly. Also you can still hear your motor. The open canals of the filters ensure that no differences of pressure arise, so that while wearing MotoSafe protectors one has no sense of isolation.
The protectors are produced in a durable, flexible thermoplastic polymer. Due to the heat of the ear, the protector adapts to the shape of the auditory duct within just a few minutes, making them very comfortable in the ear even for prolonged periods of use. If needed the user can adjust the lamella to the shape of his or her auditory duct. MotoSafe is supplied in two interchangeable attenuation filter sets, one for average use and one for greater attenuation.
