[MDairheads] Hearing Protection ?

Felllow Hedz:
Like probably the rest of you, I am trying to preserve what little hearing that I have left.I've been reluctant to use foam or other ear plugs while riding for fear that they aren't legal in Maryland and my wearing them could constitute "contributory neglignece" in a crash, regardless of how "right" I might be.
A recent article on the subject in Motorcycle Consumer News by a former NY State Police Motor Officer said that molded earplugs were legal in Maryland.I used these for many years as a competitive skeet shooter and they were both comfortable and reduced noise.
Do any of you know any more about the legality of molded plugs for riding motorcycles in Maryland ??
