Does anyone use custom-made earplugs for noise protection? (piefed.social)

Heya,

I'm very noise sensitive, which is mainly an issue at night when I try to sleep.
I've been told I should get custom-made earplugs, as those over-the-counter don't really do anything for me.

Does anyone have experience with this? As I'm having trouble finding good resources.
I also live in a country without good quality products of just about anything, so I've been thinking of getting like the shape of my ear scanned here, and then sending it to a place in Europe that would create these earplugs for me.

Thanks for any help!

Before shelling out for custom:

Have you tried the kids swimming earplug wax kit? It has these moldable lumps like a soft resin, that you form exactly to fit the ear canal.

Also Galaxy Pro2 ear buds are great, they have a noise cancel feature that works really well. It can used without having to having to have any audio playing
