How much wind can you endure?

[pll]

Another wind wuss here... Today I rode 55 miles and the wind was killing me, I had to work hard on areas that were downhill, on others, I could feel the bike pushed sideways. But more than the wind itself, I hate the sound of the wind in my ears. Am I the only one? Has anyone found some solution? I while ago, I saw the following: http://bikehugger.com/2007/06/slipst...muters_and.htm
(I'm only interested in reducing the wind noise, no headphones for me.)

Try a cycling head band. I own one, and like it. I don't like the wind riping on my ears either. Maybe I'm just more prone to ear aches, but the head band helps. Some are made with a ponytail hole in the back too. That is a nice perk. In one of my LBS I saw something called "Dog Earz" (sp?). They were the same concept of what you have posted in this link.
