Get some "calmer" ear plugs to help with the treble sounds.

I use shooting range ear plugs. They stand out a bit but they block lots of noise and are easy to replace when you lose them. The sleeping ear plugs look and function pretty much the same but they don't seem to block as much even though they are rated the same.
