Don't know if this has been covered before, but I just thought I'd offer my opinion. I took my first long-distance trip this past weekend and I tried ear plugs. Some people like 'em, some don't.
I liked their effect. I have to compare the effect to reading a book in a quiet room vs. in a room with lots of ambient noise. I can concentrate on the book better when the room is quiet and retain what I've read. The ear plugs actually made me MORE focused on the ride and seemed to sharpen the input I got from my other senses if that makes any sense. I don't plan on wearing them day-to-day, but on long rides, I'll continue to use them. Just my $.02.
