It's a common problem among older people and bikers in particular. I must have ridden for a good 40 years, including racing, without earplugs. When you're young and indestructible it seems like a problem for other people. Now of course I have high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. Neither is life changing but I'd rather not have had them.
So yeah, wear earplugs if you're doing anything more than nipping down the shops.
