Wind noise

So I've been cycling regularly for about a year now. Prior to that I was motorcycling and always, always wore ear plugs to deal noise; primarily wind noise.

I have tinnitus and wind noise really aggravates it. Wind noise on a bicycle isn't as bad as on a motorcycle but bad enough where I'm concerned about the effects it is having. With me the ringing comes and goes generally but it seems the more I cycle, the more ringing I experience. I have considered wearing ear plugs but most of my riding is on roads with little or no shoulder and I don't feel safe not being able to hear cars approaching.

Anyone have a suggestion on ways to reduce wind noise or deal with it in some way?
