I used molded 15dB earplug from ACS that I also use for other environments (music, etc). 
They are way much more comfortable (like, you forget them) but also more expensive. 

BTW I'm looking for a place to get new ones in Europe, if anyone has got adresses.

What are people using for ear protection for datacenters these days?

Telecommuting, in my case.

I'm
down to my last couple of corded 3M 1110:

These work reasonably well in practice, with a rated nominal noise
reduction rate of 29dB.  Some people find them uncomfortable, but they work
well for me.

There are other ear plugs with rated NRR of up to 32-33dB.  Anyone have any
opinions on what brands work well for them?
