expensive but they should last for a while. I have problems getting the
ordinary ones in and I am hoping these will be better.

Let us know how they work. My experience with several sets of custom plugs 
was that I couldn't get them to make an air-tight seal, which means they let 
the noise come in. I then ordered a box of 200 pairs of Howard Leight Max-1 
plugs which work for me, and cost a lot less than 50 lb. I couldn't find a 
website for Leight, but they may be ordered from a safety equipment company, 
such as Champion America. <http://www.champion-america.com/contact_us.htm> 
(or do your own web-search) The Max-1 is bell shaped, soft,  and can be 
rolled up into a small cylinder, that even my narrow ear canals will accept. D
