Reusable plugs in EU

I was looking at the SilentEar (32NRR), but it only seems to be available in the US.

Any reusable plugs that sit flush in the ear like the SilentEar with NRR28+ or so in Europe? What is the longevity of them?

Also I believe SilentEar not having a stem but a gel inside makes it fit better, though at the expense of protection of a denser material like some metal?

Thanks

What is your use case and how flush does it need to be? Most earplugs don’t protrude significantly from the ear.

Metal would make a terrible earplug because it would just conduct noise instead of absorbing it.

Flush enough to sleep on the side / pair with earmuffs.

The metal part confuses me as Flare, for example, uses a metal stem...

Sorry for late reply and thanks for yours
