I read somewhere that wind noise at 15mph is sufficiently loud to damage your ears. I remembered that a company called Cat EarsCat Ears made wind noise reducers that attach to your helmet straps in front of your ears. I was skeptical that they work but buying things from Amazon means that you can return them.
I bought them and attached them to my helmet and immediately could hear the difference. The ride becomes eerily quiet and you can definitely hear others talking. Downhill it makes an even bigger difference. There's no longer this roar in your ears. Yes, they do make the helmet straps hotter, and will pick up sweat, but to my mind it's a worthy trade off.
I liked them so much I bought them for Boen and Xiaoqin as well. Highly recommended. I should have started using them ages ago!
