      I didnt knew such effects.

      Appreciate it.

      For honking and loud exhaust, there are also traffic rules for it, though sadly nobody cares for it.
      Read 2.5.1, 2.5.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 of the following.
      Traffic Offences and Penalties in India - Indian Driving Schools.
      It also requires mass awareness.

      For wind problems, ear plugs can be used.

      Thank you for your comments, and the link I am personally a bit concerned about earplug usage during riding as it could affect ability to hear outside sounds...

Ask me about noise pollution, I sit in a place where through out the day I keep hearing noises of trays & plates falling & then there is the staff & the customers too. The plugs mentioned above are the same kind which are used for swimming, infact you get them with straps too, you can find them in any of the Sports stores.

          CHEERS,

            8.5 grand? how come? i paid roughly 12 grand for my QC15.

            the QC3s have a huge price difference tho...
            i paid a lil over 15 grand for them in the States...
            and they cost almost 22 grand here.

            and as far i using bose headsets while riding... i wouldn't recommend it.

            definitely not safe.

            for two reasons...

            one: it's way to quiet to be safe
            two: there's no way in the world you'd be able to wear a helmet with it.

              Well First of all, I never suggested to use it while driving or riding. Any ways I cant cuz I use a helmet.

              And secondly, I bought mine for 17,500 INR in India. And my sis got hers for 8,500 INR from dubai.

                I use a drop of coconut oil boiled for hardly 2 seconds 2 times in a week before going to bed and that works for me a lot, i consulted my ENT doctor and he told me that works.

                WARNING :Please consult your ENT Doc before doing the same

                  I too use a balaclava with a proper fit helmet. Really helps with outside noise..

                  The thread name could have been better.. I had no idea it was about ear safety.

                    I appreciate that, I agree that maybe I could have come up with something better, but what i wanted to imply by "Lend me your ears" was to listen to what I wanted to say about ear safety.
                    By the way, the phrase is from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Antony's funeral speech for Caesar.
