I have very sensitive hearing and I wonder all the time how does people who ride the motocycle not get pain in the ears and hearing loss??? I googled this about the helmets and they do not protect the hearing... I feel some pain in my ear everytime a motorcycle or moped woosh past me outside and I stare at them and I wonder why they wanna think its fun to lose your hearing. :(

    It’s actually safer my motorcyclists to have loud bikes Bc they can be hard to see but easy to hear.

    Hah! As an ex-biker, they hear it and they love it. Part of riding is that you attract attention with a shiny loud bike.

    they hear the noise, they dont care if its loud or if you dont like it. they think its cool and will not quit until someone passes a law of noise ordinance against it and they get arrested.

    The consensus seems to be that motorcyclists do risk long-term hearing loss, but it's wind-noise that's the problem rather than the blatting or roaring their exhausts. That's mainly a serious annoyance for everyone who's nearby when the look-at-me-everybody! fools roll by.

    Kinda like how the noise level behind a jet plane is much greater than what it is in front of the engines, the noise of a motorcycle's engine is directed back behind the bike when it's moving.

    Of course, when you're young, there's a tendency to believe that you're immune to any such problems and only a pussy worries about something like hearing loss when they're fifty or sixty. And, of course, a significant number of motorcyclists never have to worry about hearing loss in their later years because they kill themselves with stupidity long before they get that old.

    Maybe they notice, but just don't care? I dunno.
