Some people advocate using an earplug in the right ear, as to leave the left
ear for traffic sounds. I don't know how well that would work. I don't ride
with music either, preferring to listen to the sounds of nature. :-)
....although the drone of a busy 4 lane sucks. I never noticed how loud it
can be until I started riding my bike there. It's awful, with the loud
exhausts and big tires and all.
