If you know you're doing long runs regularly then why not get some properly fitted plugs done, there's always a stand at bike shows.

I don't really do the long runs anymore, that was a few years ago when I was in the Army working away from home and doing 30,000 miles per year on two wheels! I might just visit one of the posh earplug stands at a bike show and see what they've got.

I prefer not to have earplugs myself.
I wear a Caberg Justissimo GT - pretty decent at noise cancellation. A friend of mine gave me some ear plugs, and I used them once. I wore them on the trip back to mine, and it scared the crap out of me. They cancelled so much noise, I couldn't hear the engine or cars going past. And that was at 40! Only when I got up to 70 on the A1M could I hear any road noise.
I'd use them on motorways, but then most of the time, I'm using my Satnav, which I use with an in-ear earpiece... :rolleyes
End of the day, I'd rather risk dogdy ears at 60yrs old than get wiped out by a cager next week cos I couldn't hear him.
