I have ridden ear plugs and now wear a pro-tec with ear protection. The ear plugs affected my sense of balance to the point it made riding really wierd. I have planted the side of my head so hard so many times learning flips and spins w/o huting my ear drums, that I swear by the ear protection. I do agree, blowing an ear drum is still possible, and I have heard stories like Joe is saying, but in most cases, I think they will do the job.
