Another vote for Wiley-X, not only for the reasons already stated, but also because the company provides outstanding support. I broke the frame on mine and they quickly shipped me a new one, no questions asked. I have clear and smoked lenses for indoor and outdoor shooting.

I'm a fan of the Peltor 29db ear muff. I'm partially deaf (misspent youth) so I'm not the right person to weigh in here, but my wife is very sensitive to loud noises and they work well for her. She still prefers to double up with the muff and ear plugs, but it is no longer a game over problem if I forget to pack the plugs when we go to the range.

We also have some electronic "Tac-6" muffs that seem to work OK. The noise reduction (if memory serves, around 18 dB) wasn't enough for her to comfortably use them at the range, so they now live in our bedroom with the home gun. Nice thing about these electronic muffs is they also amplify soft noises, like someone walking around the house at night.
