I use custom made earplugs with an approx 5 years guaranteed lifespan. Costed arround € 80,00 and you can selects an inbuild noice filter for your needs.. I'm sure it should be available in your part of the world also.
Whatever you decide, i can only strongly urge you to wear plugs and i really don't care what others say about that. Not using plugs will for no doubt eventually kill your hearing to not acceptable limits and in a worse case scenario will give you lifelong tinnitus in return. (and yes, i know what i'm talking about)
People who are "in" for that trade are insane and i'm proud for you you are not 1 of them.
Very, very wise of you to get plugs asap AND use them. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

the kind I have and like the best have been discontinued, they had three disk, each one getting bigger, medium dark blue in color.. the new yellow ones just dont cut it.

Aero EAR Classic plugs are pretty good. I like the granda's but I think they even quit making them also.. there just a bit longer and larger than the classic's.

this is as close as I can find for U in the reusable ones..

I have an X-tra large ear canal, so some don't work for me...

I found it ... the ones I have are corded and make using them for shooting really nice..

You're only supposed to put one in each ear...
