Where can I buy reusable earplugs in Helsinki? 26dB or higher. And would you happen to know the price, I just need one pair. The disposable ones wear out quickly

and get dirty.

Thanks!

Your local Apteekki should sell a range of disposable and non-disposable earplugs.
I'd try that first before going anywhere else, they usually have quite competitive prices too.
Or you could try this instead:

Have a couple made with a specific sound filter. It'll cost you about 200 euros, but if you "are in the business" they will earn themselves back.
I have a pair and it's a relief compared to being without.
Before I would come home and sleep badly and have this constant static noise in my ears that would only go away if I had a couple of days off, but with these plugs.... aaaaahhhh.....
See it as an investment in yourself.

Whoa thats like the most expensive earplugs i have ever heard of!

what specific sound does it block out?
could the noise in ur ear be caused by tintinus? (i dont know how to spell it, some ear infection)

No, it blocks out external sounds.
There are specific filters that block sounds with a certain dB or within a certain frequency.

Some people use them for other things then stuffing them in their ears.

I remember seeing some ones near the checkout in Biltema, 29 dcb. You can wash and reuse the foam ones, mine generally last up until a year that way.
