The soft foam type ear plugs are much more comfortable. The rating on the package is by decibles of sound, so the higher the plug is rated the louder sound it will block. Make sure you are inserting the plugs properly. For the foam plugs roll them between your fingers and thumb into a narrow shape, use your opposite hand and pull up the top of your ear (pinna) which will open and straighten the canal, then put the rolled plug into the canal and hold it until you can feel it expanding or filling your ear canal. It will then form to the shape of your ear canal and be most effective. Another option is to have an audiologist or ear Dr. make custom ear plugs that will fit your ears perfectly.

well i dont know which brand is best, but my sister uses the CLASSIC ear plugs and she says they work just fine, but you should ask your doctor anyway. and there are those headphone kinds but those are really bad....because headphones increase the dirt in your ear in the hour bye 70% so i wouldnt do it! imagine how much it will increase over night. but try the brand i gave you anyway, they seem the best.
hope i could help
take care and good luck
