Sounds like you're still buzzing.
I wear earplugs unless it's just gently pottering through town. Disposable plugs bought by the hundreds are really cheap while the same plugs bought individually are extortionate. Custom moulded plugs (with or without earphones) can be really effective - unfortunately I didn't get told that they don't suit everybody's ears until after I'd paid serious money for them and just about deafened myself! Back to yellow foam cylinders for me.
