Moulded earplugs - completely closed or open with filters on the plane?

Question

I need to travel by plane soon

I have earplugs moulded to my ears, some completely filling it for 30+ db reduction some with a hole and filter (not pressure one for planes, acoustic one) that blocks 26db

I’d go with the first one but is there a difference in pressure management between open and closed?

Thanks
