Well you got me there, I'd never heard of a targus, so I googled it and found it is a make of laptop. I thought it would be rather unusual to shove a laptop in each lughole, so I kept going and found a lughole skin flapper called a tragus. That makes more sense.
I never even knew I had a tragus and when I looked I actually have two!!

I'm inspired to launch a range of scented candles called " My Tragus smells like this". I'd shove a banger in each one just for laughs..

If you guys think earplugs are uncomfortable, try getting used to wearing hearing aids! The first year is the hardest.
I've never worn earplugs as I want to be sure I will hear any blues and twos. One advantage of hearing aids is that they have a threshold of volume that they deliver to the ear. I definitely find noisy things much noisier without them.
So wind noise is tolerable and in theory won't damage my hearing further, and I can hear all I need to.
The big plus about wearing a hearing aid in a helmet is that some helmets squash my large upper cartilaginous lug flapper (scientific name unknown!) against my skull and add to the pleasure of a painful lughole full of plastic... What joy! Pardon?
