However, not all earplugs are the same. Have you heard of these?

When it comes to earplugs I have a lot of experience living in an apartment in London directly under a flight path into Heathrow airport.

Both foam and silicone flange plugs have deficiencies either in fitting ( even when the flange plugs are available in 3 sizes) or in the level of attenuation over a wide enough frequency band. I would exclude custom moulded plugs from this but they are expensive and require a visit to an audiologist.

I strongly advise either wax or soft silicone plugs. They give the best sound attenuation and, by their very nature, mould to your ear canal. They will drop the noise substantially inside an aircraft although whether enough to let you sleep is another matter which depends upon your personal needs. At best you will get attenuation in the high -20dBs, maybe -28dB over a wide bandwidth but in a plane you will not experience silence.

    The link is probably not a lot of use to you as I am in the UK. However quite a lot of their earplugs are sourced from the USA so I expect that you may find some of the wax or mouldable silicone brands easily available at home.
