That's very interesting, and probably true, but I still think it's better to be on the safe side and always wear earplugs.

I started using "in ear" ear phones , they offer pretty decent wind noise protection.

Ear plugs will isolate you from the surrounding traffic noise so vital while riding. A good Full face helmet with a clean visor in closed position will definitely offer the ideal solution. Ear phones of Mobile Hands free, I pod ,and listening to loud music are proven to cause ear problems.

Wear a full face Helmet and Ride Safe.

Of course earplugs are also excellent noise protection devices against the deafening air horns...

They are so loud that I wonder whether earplugs alone can bring the noise down to a "safe level", but they'll help for sure.

Well , it doesn't to be very frank. No matter which helmet you buy. Ear phones reduce the wind noise and music at low level is not going to cause any issues.
About the surrounding traffic , this is not needed in city areas but on highways where 80kmph + speeds cause wind noise. On highways , surrounding noise is not faint and will be audible even after you wear ear plugs.
