Ear-rings and masks

I lost a nice earring and am blaming my own carelessness when removing my facemask, so I thought I'd hunt out the sleepers I'd been given years ago when I first got the piercings done. I couldn't find them so looked on Amazon and purchased a pair. The flimsy little things were difficult to insert and impossible to close and i ended up breaking one.
What size should I be looking for? How much should I expect to pay? How do you close them? (the ones I got seemed to have one thin edge that slipped inside a hollow on the other edge, very tricky with arthritic fingers. I expected a kind of hook.
I don't want the holes to close up.

I had been wearing big earrings for ages but have had to give them up for now as I can't do earrings, hearing aids and mask.

My original 'sleepers' were very small gold studs. Since having to wear a mask, I've been wearing just studs as dangly earrings are easily tangled up in the elastic.
