You could try to talk to some people I know, who have developed an
active earplug for use in severely noisy environments.

You find them like this:

- Go to www.sintef.com
- Enter "acoustics" in that search box in the upper righ hand side
of the page
- High among the hits (no. two or three this morning) is a link called
"Advanced hearing protection" or something like that.

Go to that page, and you can contact the people mentioned there. I am sure
they would be very helpful in pointing you to resources or references that
you may find useful.
