Any recommendations abt the QUIETEST helmet on the market..

[desmodoktor]

I have yet to find a helmet that reduces wind noise to the point where you don't need earplugs.
Had a hard time finding the plugs that work for me. The latest purchase seems to do the job but only if I wet them and fully insert them:

thx ill go 2morrow and buy a pair. hopefully it works..

Which earplugs did you use?

I suggest these:

http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Earplugs-Uncorded-NRR33/dp/B0013A0C0Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1347841397&sr=8-2&keywords=howard+leight+earplug

They're cheap, 200 pairs will last you effectively forever, and they have the highest NR on the market at 33 db.

And all helmets will let in wind noise... you have to think of earplugs as a high/low pass filter.  You're still going to hear through them but it'll block out the louder sounds.

And what hurts when your ear hurts?  The inner ear or the ear lobes?

Used them for some time put they didn't always work, either didn't expand properly or started to move back out of the ear canal.

those are exactly what im using . when my ears hurt (especially when my right ear hurts) who whole channel hurts .. from the inside up to my neck .. sometimes even my teeth on that side hurt... i guess the nerves go that way ...
so as i was saying im using the exact ones and i can still hear the wind ... even when all my vents are closed.

i use them once and throw them away.. i get them from work free and they advice us to use them only once to avoid ear ``infections``.. 
it helps to use saliva when u put them on. just lick each one a little bit when you put it on and it will seat good. also when you put them on pull your ear back with the opposite hand from the back . ex. when u are trying to put it in your right ear pull the ear from the back with your left hand . and repeat the opposite for the other side.

I used to get that same ear pain after wearing ear plugs for too long.  Not from the helmet, but from the plugs, in my ear canal.  I tried some silicone plugs, nice high NRR 3M branded foam ones, the Howard Leight ones posted earlier, and a few others and all hurt to some degree.  I had some custom musicians earplugs made, but they kept getting knocked loose when I put my helmet on.  The Hearos were the second best, but more expensive. 

Finally I tried some Howard Leight Lite Max (the green ones) and they are much better.  I think the foam is softer, or doesn't expand as firmly in my ear canal, or is just narrower to begin with.  I got a 200 count of individually wrapped pairs and it seems like I have barely made a dent in the box after a few years.  I wear them almost daily commuting, but do re-use a pair for 3-5 days usually.  Not the best idea hygienically, especially with how cheap they are, I just don't remember to grab a fresh pair most days.  But I force myself to get a new pair on Mondays.

So I got myself a pair of what u suggested.. they fit good and they don't hurt my ears unlike the ones I was using before (foamy and they expand by themselves) don't remember the brand now.. no pain at all from the new ones.. but I still hear the wind.. a lot... But I don't care as long as there is no pain .. also have a doctors apt for Monday to check the ears.. ill ask the doc if he can prescribe me some good ear plugs lol...

I agree with the no pain. 
Make sure they are inserted all the way...had issues with that at first and was disappointed with the performance.
Once I used lots of moisture to fit them properly I got a lot less wind noise. 
Haven't found anything better short off paying $100 plus for custom made stuff.
