An anxious phenomenon is developing: in the world of motorcyclists it is becoming more and more known of victims who’s hearing loss is due to their favorite sport. The motorcyclist is beginning to realise that their hearing has to be protected. People who ride a motorcycle regularly are running the risk of hearing loss. Official measurements show that the safe limits are being overtaken  very quickly.

The sound of the motorcycle isn’t the biggest problem, but mostly the rush of the wind near the helmet causes high noise levels. The noise pressure is +/- 90 dB by 80 km/hour, +/- 94 dB by 100 km/hour, +/- 98 dB by 120 km/hour and by a speed of 140 km/hour it can rise up to 102 dB.  The noise level during a ride depends also on the type of the motorcycle and the type of  helmet.
