.......what a guy........
if they are foam things, you need to squish them down before you put them in and then wait a bit for them to expand in your ear.

If your seriously just shoved the ear plug in your ear, well..... I really don't know what to say. Putting in ear plugs is not rocket science, in fact, it is very very simple, and who would think to read directions on the bottle or package . Custom ear plugs.......

My favorites are the blue Hearos ones at Walmart with 33NPR. They are cheap, roll up easy and expand quickly. Can still hear bike, voices, sounds, etc.. just wind and loud pipes sounds are reduced/eliminated.

If the plugs don't fit or are painful to insert, stop by your local urgent care or Dr and have them look in your ears for excessive wax. My right ear wouldn't take a plug until they removed the natural one already there.

been using one for a few weeks and it works well. it b locks the wind from coming up into your helmet. i dont really like earplugs. this works pretty well, and i can even hear my headphones while on the highway.

Wow, that wind deflector looks ugly and uncomfortable. It also looks perfect for me. I need to get one asap.

My helmet fits my head well, but my little pencil neck don't seal the air out around the bottom. It howls like a 4 year old who just learned why you don't go commando in zipper-fly jeans. If I scrunch my shoulders around just right, I can work the collar of my jacket into that space, and the noise difference is increadible. But it gets uncomfortable very fast to hold my shoulders in that position. This thing looks like da chit to fix that..... then again, I get ear plugs by the ton for free from work......

......... Verm.......

Even the cheapest, nastiest pair of junky ear-plugs I've ever seen has instructions on the single-use package. Tell me you ain't so oblivious, lazy, self-important, stupid, A.D.D.positive or whatever it is, as to not be able to figure out a set of ear-plugs.....

How the hell do you get dressed and out of the house in the morning?

The key to using earplugs in is putting them in correctly. (I use the cheapo foam ones.) Using your opposite hand, reach over your head and pull the top ofyour ear back and up. This straightens out the alimentary canal (a.ka. your ear hole) so that the squished up earplug can be fully instered. Then let the earplug epxand.
