Just read this thread; good responses guys and somewhat more civilized than the thread I started in A+S about the cyclist killed being linked to wearing an MP3 player.

Me I don't wear anything, (around or in my ears ),I suffer from tinnitus and some other hearing loss so I'd rather not stuff my ears up anymore using an MP3 player, (kids don't stick your head in speaker stacks at gigs ). I never really like the idea anyhow, but I am not pathological in my hatred of earphone wearers.

Mind you when I read the title of this thread I wondered if it was about safety earplugs, (I know there has been a recent thread on this), as the wind is really loud even with my beanie pulled over my ears and I am really wondering if it is contributing to my tinnitus?

Just nice to see a good discussion without everyone getting twitchy
