The Call of the Open Road is Irresistible
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of the open road. Unfortunately, the more time you spend on a motorcycle, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. Plugfones are designed to protect your ears from the sound of the engine and, even more importantly, the sound of the wind. Much more than earplugs, however, Plugfones include high-quality earbuds so you can add a soundtrack to your ride while you protect your hearing.
We’re used to loud motorcycles. A Harley with straight pipes will set off car alarms as it drives by. What many riders don’t realize, however is that wind noise often drowns out the sound of the engine completely. It’s not uncommon for wind noise to hit 95 decibels — a level which, if sustained for extended periods of time, will lead to partial hearing loss. Plugfones have a certified noise reduction level of 25dB. That would bring the wind noise down to about 70 decibels. For reference, 70 dB falls somewhere between the volume of a normal conversation and a washing machine. That’s a noise level that your ears can easily handle, even for long periods of time.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to hear the call of the open road if you don’t protect your ears. See what we did there? So remember, even a quiet bike can ruin your hearing. It’s the wind that you should be worried about. However, you have nothing to fear when you’re wearing Plugfones. Also, the new Plugfones Liberate gives you the freedom of Bluetooth. That’s the soundtrack of your ride with no strings attached.
