If we're talking about the same thing, $500 easily.
well you only get 2 ears.
When I flew in jets, I was always "precious" with my ears. While our helmets provided well-fitted ear cups with sound protection, I still wore "double" hearing protection (i.e. foamies in the ears, then the helmet). It meant I had to turn the radio volumes up a bit, but I was hoping to keep out a lot of that high frequency noise.
Toward the end, I did get some fitted earplugs, which were essentially in-ear monitors. The docs came and squirted some sort of goopy gel into our ear canal that hardened quickly. They pulled it out and then went away. A few weeks later, my ear plugs arrived. I imagine that is the process for the good ones being sold. If they are uncomfortable, you won't use them. I think the cheaper alternative are the earbud approach with a tight-fit rubber end that blocks the canal and does a similar thing. Like the AirPods Pro type thing. Those can be under $200.
