When it comes to actually "hearing" all of our cool devices, I've always had 
a problem.  My ears hurt from earbuds and the like, or I got distortion from 
in-helmet speakers.  Even foam earplugs start hurting my ear canals after a 
while (hours to days, depending).

I've tried almost every thing on the market for audio input with no joy.  
Earbuds of every type, and helmet speaker systems (not cheap!).  So this 
year at the Int'l Motorcycle Show I finally broke down and got what I should 
have gotten all along.  Custom made ear plugs with built in transducers 
(speakers).  This is pure Heaven.  Perfect fit has finally given me total 
comfort and Excellent sound !!
Expensive but worth it!!
