Where do you buy these magical ear plugs that cut out loud noise, I find them fairly useless.

Silicone ear plugs. Or "Ear Putty" as it says on the light blue box. Big drug stores have them, main Tescos often. Shape them into a golf tee shape and insert into ear canal then press tightly and they work. Not absolutely perfect but pretty close.

We have different experiences - I even had custom made  shaped ear plugs made in Pattaya at a hearing aid specialist - they only reduce noise level by approx 25 db
