2023 CB500x ears ringing, wind screen / buffeting

I'm a relatively new rider and recently got a 2023 CB500x. I am really excited about riding more but this persistant ringing in my ears is starting to deter me from riding because im worried about long term hearing issues. I have a great Arai helmet and have been wearing 33 NRR foam plugs (Mack's) and i haven't even gone on the highway yet. I've just been exploring back country roads at 55-60 mph.

As a new rider i am also less familiar with what buffeting is and especially knowing what mild vs terrible buffeting is, but I tried tucking my head closer to the tank yesterday and it was so much more pleasant. My assumption is that maybe the buffeting is jarring my eardrums around and making some mild existing tinnitus worse.

From my research so far, it seems very much like the proper wind screen will be dependent on the height of the rider and where the wind hits / doesnt hit the helmet. Could anyone that is on the shorter side (5'7'') that has solved the buffeting issue let me know what your solution was? Thanks so much!
