I can't recall the name of the maker of those blue foam plugs. ~30db noise reduction, though. They're good enough and fit tightly enough that they work okay by themselves.
Beyond that, I have a set of electronic Silencio muffs, rated at ~26db NRR. Together, they work very well. This is how I normally do range shooting. The only real exception is when I'm doing a class. The electronic muffs have a booster/filter for speech, but that only works without the ear plugs, else it's simply too darned quiet ... as you found out.
When shooting in the field, the plugs are enough. In enclosed spaces at the range, adding the muffs changes the effect of the pressure change quite a bit.
