Is the expensive stuff necessary? I bought an inexpensive seat of Winchester earmuffs at Wally World for $7. It's rated to 25 db. I combine it with earplugs that are rated for 28 decibels, and I get 40 of them for $3. Together the plugs and the muffs provide very good protection. So for ten dollars I have a very inexpensive, but effective way of protecting my hearing. Much more economical than the $100 electronic muffs I sometimes see.
