One of my friends, Mark Aspery, highly recommends the use of custom-fitted suppressors sold by hearing specialists. The ones he has and uses are the Emtech ER-20 - they boast a 25 db filter level and still allow you to hear conversation when there is no high level noise present.
I have the same issues you do with the earphones mashing the temples of my glasses, so I'm currently using 23 db foam plugs. When really screwed down tightly into my ear canals they work fine, but they're annoying to remove to carry on a conversation. I suppose one of these days I'll take Mark's advice and get the fitted ones, but I have to first drop the big bucks for the properly fitted hearing aids - I should have started wearing hearing protection many years ago but did not and now I'm more than half deaf. Something to think about.
