Between loud cars, power tools, and music (performing and spectating), I've had moderate tinnitus and hearing loss for a good 20+ years. Last time I had a hearing test they said my hearing loss was mainly in the frequency range of female voices, which I guess is ok because they never talk to me anyway  . It seems to get louder with higher stress levels. In a quiet enough environment it can be maddening.Now I pop in earplugs if I'm so much as hammering a single nail. It's too late to regain anything, but at least I can keep it from getting much worse.

I, too, have a preferred brand/model of earplugs, 3M Skull Screws (corded). You can put them in without having to roll/squish them first, which is great when your hands are dirty. Corded is nice because you can always have a pair hanging from your hard hat. That's not as useful in the garage, but the cord still makes them easier to keep track of. I need to figure out a way to make them drop-proof when I'm not wearing a hard hat. Maybe a safety pin on the back of my collar or something...although I'm unlikely to bother pinning on my earplugs every time I go out to the garage.
