Is your convertible damaging your hearing? -- ScienceDaily
Been wearing ear plugs while riding my motorcycle for years. Hearing loss from years of exposure to wind noise while riding a motorcycle is well know (and mostly ignored) and shortly after getting the Boxster and driving it at speed I thought to myself that this is as bad as riding a motorcycle without ear plugs.
