Not sure on the brand, it came from Amazon, here is a link. I have tried blowing pretty hard with no difference (trumpet player, I can provide a good amount of pressure!)
I have ones made by Alpine Hearing Protection.
I tried several other brands and they usually have a hard plastic core and will hurt if you don't pick the right sizes or their standard sizes don't fit you well.
The Alpine ones are one size and made of all soft rubber with just a small filter insert, so you don't have to worry about fit and they are comfortable all day long.
The sound quality is fine. Their filtering seems to that they leave open a small hole to let in a small amount of sound waves. You are still getting in the original sound waves, just less of them. I don't notice any change in pitches when them in or out, only volume.

These are the ones I use; cheap, and effective. I use what is meant to be the lowest level of sound reduction and it was fine for whole band playing indoors, even when I was on the end of the circle next to the drummers.
I've tried Etymotic, standard fit, and they just ended up hurting my ear canals. Unfortunately they only have "standard fit" and "large fit". With no option for a smaller fit I had to look for an alternative.
I really lie the fit and dB reduction of the Flents ear plugs and bought a jar of them: http://www.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Please-Plugs-50-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C

It’s also on track 2 of Scantily Plaid’s album Just Checking In https://www.amazon.com/Just-Checking-Scantily-Plaid/dp/B003DVZMEC

Thats a bummer.
The only other thing I could possibly suggest, if you havent already, would be a non-scratch channellock pliers.
But even with those, it sounds like something's gonna get damaged at this point.
