I agree with Munch on the confidence thing. For me being able to take a corner well comes down to how I am feeling at that precise moment with the bike and with myself. Wearing good/comfortable protective gear will help with that. I also think the ear plugs may be helping more than you think. Without them I certainly notice a lot more wind noise and it is distracting. I would guess your brain is interpreting that noise as ‘you are going fast!’ and would not help your concentration and/or confidence.
