Please get and wear a full-face helmet. Some are quieter than others. All offer much more protection than you are wearing. This guy, with 1,199,900 more riding miles than you would have needed his chin reconstructed had he been wearing your helmet:

Please wear a full-face helmet. It doesn't have to be expensive - get the one that you find most comfortable wearing. Most of them will fit under the Majesty's seat.
I'd try to live with your windscreen a bit longer, unless you want to be a guninea pig for the rest of us. The market is immature, and there are no clear leaders that I can see in aftermarket screens for our scooters.
Buy a box of soft foam earplugs - necessary on the highway, kind of a bad idea in the city. Long-term hearing loss is a real problem for motorcyclists.
