Earplugs
I paid about 30p for mine and they are the best bargain I ever got for the bike once I've managed to get them in properly.
But, the thing is, they are such a bugger to get in properly. Surely, it doesn't take everybody else five to ten minutes with a teaspoon handle to get them in only to have one of them (actually, always the right one) come out after a few minutes.
Having one come out on a ride has brought home to me how horrendous the noise level actually is on the bike; with one in and the other out you realize that you become mentally acclimatized while your ears are still receiveing an appalling battering without your fully realizing it. I had a proper hearing test a few years ago and both my ears were well down on what they ought to be.
