This works very well for me. I have tried just about every type but most were not comfortable. Finally found 3M ear classic NRR 33 earplugs and have bought them 200 pairs at a time. Super comfortable and effective.
used to buy these but not in stock:

so now I got these:

I tried many earplugs and the 3m ear classic NRR 33 are comfortable and silent.

310-1101 - they are cylindrical. I used to get the similar 310-1008 but I can't find them anymore.
Other earplugs would want to expand too much and make my ears sore, or would have the wrong material and sort of adhere to my ear canal, or be comfortable but not quiet.

Personally I loathe people who use their phone speaker in a restaurant (or doctor's office, etc)
but I made my peace with it by adapting:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MCTOPU (3m ear classic 33 NRR earplugs)
The perpetrators never notice me putting in the earplugs, but others do and smile "I know, right?"
(although another adaptation might be putting on a disney princess song or maybe ukulele music. can you steer the sound?)
