I did ear plugs for a long time but really disliked the discomfort (to me at least) of inserting them in my ears. I found hearing protectors, typically made for industrial purposes, to be much more comfortable and effective.

Just do a search for "noise reduction earmuff" for this option. They're obviously not a good solution for sleeping but work well for working.

There are also my favorite, which go over the ear canal rather than inside: Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs

I think some people have narrow or more sensitive ear canal. Give a try to kids' ear plugs and also see instructions how to insert them correctly (effortlessly by pulling the ear up). I had a issue with foam ear plugs due to the pressure, but kids' foam ear plugs are perfect for me, even for side sleeping.
