Evidently, humans weren't designed to be able to hear clearly while cycling, running or just facing into a decent breeze. Most four-legged creatures can wiggle their ears in various directions. Some can even ride bicycles, but I digress.
By the simple act of extending an index finger skywards and pressing it against the side of the head, in front of the ear, wind noise can be reduced dramatically. A streetstyles type frame could be made to achieve the same effect, with some strategically placed squishy foam. Does such a product exist? [No, wait, let me rephrase that. "How do you like my new invention?"]
Of course, there's the gumby factor to consider, but that's unlikely to be an issue for anyone who's seen themselves in the mirror while wearing a typical bicycle helmet.
