    What's Your Definition of Mild Tinnitus?

    I'm not an expert but as far as I know occlusion effect can occur when you speak with plugs in and your speech is in certain lower frequencies amplified, I can't imagine this being the case on your motorcycle unless you were shouting the whole trip.
