IMO plugs should always be worn. I got a box of the dense foam rubbery ones shaped like a rain drop or something like that wad them into a little pill and stuff them in. They expand and are quite comfortable and I don't notice them.

I used to shoot competitively and tried the spendy noise canceling custom injected ones and after 2 tries got my money back. They hurt and were a general PITA. Since you have to were a headset anyway (like a helmet) to protect the bone behind the ears I just went back to the foam jobs. They are as good as anything for noise reduction.

There are many different flavors made and I'm sure one will work for you. My suggestion is to go to an industrial safety supply house, there should be one around you. They should have many different types and are very cheap and you can try them out and find the best for you.

Protect your ears. Tinnitus ain't no fun believe me. My cheapy ear plugs are as important to me as my Aria or my other armored riding gear.
