Wind Noise
Not sure if this was a topic already but I did notice it mentioned in a recent post but specific to hearing aids. I don't know if this is an age thing or some kind of medical condition I have but when I ride, the wind noise to my ears is at a very high decibel. Feel free to move this post to Ills & Pills if applicable but I don't ever remember this being an issue when I was younger. Whether there's a breeze or not, as soon as I pick up speed the noise of the wind against my ears is like a jet engine.
I have tinnitus so I don't know if that has anything to do with it and I do notice as I get older that loud noises really annoy me. I am not comfortable in a noisy restaurant or bar but my hearing is fine.
Do other people experience this or should I see a doctor?
