My dad has a box of hundreds and hundreds of pairs at home from when he worked at GM. He used custom re-usable ear plugs but GM was forced to give these to everyone so he kinda collected them and saved them just in-case.
Yep! The first aid / medical center at any park should have them. They're just the cheap 3M disposable ones.

Well, what kind of earplugs? Not all earplugs are created equal.
>I'm afraid these types of headsets will do the same,
I have extremely narrow ear canals, especially in my left ear, as in Q tips are a tight fit. But I've never had comfort issues. Yes, when brand new I do feel a bit of pressure but it's not bad, and after 5 hours of use or so they mold to your ears perfectly fine and hold the shape of your canal.
The Halos will ship with 3 different types of plugs. So you can see which ones fit you best. The ones most people use are these which are basically these with a tube through them. I recommend you buy a set of these and try them out. And don't be so quick to dismiss them, genuinely wear them for several hours. Also, it wouldn't be that hard to trim them down on your own with an box cutter/exacto knife.

Yellow foam earplugs, the most effective and most comfortable.
If you have the time and a little money, you can put together goody bags for your fellow travelers. It was super trendy on Facebook last year, I think. Just a snack size ziploc with a few hard candies, a pair of foam earplugs, and a note that says, "Today is Bryce's first flight. We hope it goes well. If not, please accept these earplugs and candies with our apologies. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
The earplugs are pretty cheap on Amazon - - 200 individual packs for less than $30.
I know I'm really late to the party, but I wanted to add my two cents. I've worked construction all my life. On the road, I've shared rooms with a number of heavy snorers. Ear plugs always worked the best for me.
Now for the last 6 months I've been working in a production plant and it's loud as hell. My employer is kind enough to provide us with about 7 options for earplugs. I've tried them all extensively and these are by far the best. They block out plenty of noise, are insanely comfortable, and stay secure all day.
There's about 120 guys between the two shifts and the safety man says he has to order these ear plugs twice as much as all the other types combined.
I'm sure you'd be able to find those in Europe.
I use "3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs". They work great, they're comfy, and $30.

I've tried a bunch of different earpro options. The most important thing is that the muffs seal around your ears... as best they can while wearing safety glasses. I always wear a baseball cap and Smith & Wessson Magnum 3G safety glasses. (Hot .22 brass inside your glasses really sucks.) For ear plugs, most people like the long skinny kind that you roll and stuff into your ear canal. They really bother me, so the only ones I like are the 3M classics. I even had some custom ear plugs made and they did not work at all. (And it's only a matter of time before you lose them.) Also make sure to clean reusable plugs between uses.
​
I'm not a fan of electronic ear muffs, especially Howard Leight Low Profile. The speakers inside the muffs stand on my ears and they don't seal for crap. One of my buddies was using these and had a terrible flinch. I gave him the X4's his flinch was gone. I haven't tried any of the mid-range electronic ear muffs. The high end MSA Sordins are very nice and pretty effective, but I haven't got around to picking some up yet. The only time you really want electronic muffs is when you're doing a shooting class, and you need to listen to the instructor. (Or for hunting, I suppose.) For general BS'ing during shooting or listening to the Range Safety Officer, I can hear just fine.
​
Another point about PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), don't take it off! Leave your ear plugs in and your glasses on so you don't lose or damage them. Ear muffs are easy to take off during cease fires.
