Those Hearos earplugs are good and fit snug without sticking out straight.
Howard Leight put specs on the box for some foam plugs and it looks like attenuation there is basically correlated with frequency. .
Years ago you could do whishlists on Amazon and other people bought you the items. Is this still a thing?There are also a bunch of other ones on amazon at varying prices:

Amir indicated he needs to come up with a new methodology to test hearing protection, and that hurdle is what has delayed him getting started on this project. I suppose he has to figure out what kind of transducers to use for test tones and such, and then he has to figure out how to control the test results for the transducers somehow to show what the earplugs are actually doing.The musicians' earplug question has come up again, so I'm still hoping we'll see some measurements. I'm surprised it's not made its way into the feature set of noise cancelling headphones.
And in addition to this, an in-Amir-ear test where you put a plug in one ear, play pink noise and music through headphones, and eq the side with the earplug to subjectively match the side without.Did anything ever come of this? It seems to me like Amir could place a speaker in from of the headphone rig, measure the FR, then put the plug in and measure the FR. Then plot the difference between the two.

No. This is Audio SCIENCE Review. We don't need some half-assed subjective test like that. Maybe a comfort and stability test sure.And in addition to this, an in-Amir-ear test where you put a plug in one ear, play pink noise and music through headphones, and eq the side with the earplug to subjectively match the side without.
