What kind of protection do you use?
Ok so the place I work at has just made it mandatory to wear hearing protection. The earplugs they supply are junk and really bug my ears. Anyone that has to wear earplugs here know a specific kind that are comfortable?

I have a company make mine... Anyplace that does Hearing Aids can likely pour them for you or point you in the right direction.

the ones I use are Custom made they inject this type of stuff in your ear with some sort of noise thing you have to be still for 5 minutes then your done.
You can still hear voices and normal noise but they block out noise over a certain BD

I use "Sparkplugs", the "official plug of NASCAR"... I have an endless supply from my school'* machine shop.

I use them primarily when shooting rock concerts - I'm able to hear the music still, drown out annoying crowds, and also I'm able to stand right in front of a blaring speaker in a little club or bar

For over the ear type, Silencio makes some REALLY good ones. I've got a pair that I use at the range. Believe me, if they make the blast from my MN-'44 bearable, they'll handle anything in a factory. I believe Cabela'* carries them.

I suffered a hearing loss in both ears from my last job.
They finally made hearing protection manditory and this is the place where I ordered mine.
