The "sponge-type" ear plugs and some ear muffs should be a good combination.

Either one seriously reduces the Dbs getting to your ears. The two togeather should be enough damping to quiet any 9mm.
I did see a guy who did not know to "twirl" his ear plugs to skinny them up before inserting into his ear - you then just let them expand - and they came loose. He had a ringing in his ears for 3 days from shooting .357s.
I should describe what I am talking about. I take a foam earplug and roll it between my thumb and index finger untill it gets as small as I can get it. I quickly insert it into my ear and hold it there with my index finger until it expands filling the ear canal. I know of no other way to get a seal that keeps out noise with these plugs.
