I use 3M foam ear plugs and electronic ear muffs. I usually have the ear muffs shut off as well, especially if I am not with a partner at the range. I have some minor tinnitus from a ND (used to have crystal clear hearing) and I don't want it to get worse or damage my hearing.
I used to wear just foam earplugs in indoor ranges. Sometimes the reports were loud, but my ears never rang. Now I don't want to take a chance.
Going from pure quite to constant (but relatively minor, I think) tinnitus over night has made me appreciate what I lost. Don't take a chance. If you want my advice, and you asked for it, double up and use ear plugs that are passive and with very large dB rating.
