The answer is yes.  It's called custom molded earplugs with speakers.  Currently I have these: http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/chmisearph.html .  I can plug them in to the Autocom (with their adaptor), or plug them straight in to my mp3 or Zumo if I don't have a passenger.  Plus, they work great on airplanes.  No speakers to mount in your helmet, either.  I was not brave enough to make the molds myself, so went to a local audiologist who was nice enough to do them for free.
