I need a new pair of ears. What do you think the best protection on the market it for indoor rifle? for pistol? What offers the maximum protection available?

I don't have these personally, but I see a lot of people wearing them.....  Howard Leight Sport Electronic Earmuff...

when i was shooting indoor, i doubled up.  The electronic muffs mentioned above with orange foam ear buds underneath.  Everything is louder and more amplified inside, so doubling up is a good idea. 

Plugs under muffs!

I have 2 pair of them and they are a great bang for your buck. (I bought mine when they were on sale at Midway for $37.) BUT... if you're sensitive, plugs under muffs is the only way to go... pretty much no matter what muffs you got.

A pair of Surefire Earpro's (pick the size model that best suits you) with the Leight electronic muffs over the top have worked exceptionally well for me. 

electronic muffs over disposable 33db NRR foam plugs. It's the best I have come up with for reducing noise and still being able to react to the speech of others on the range. I still wouldn't want to shoot rifle indoors with it more than absolutely necessary, but it tames comped open pistols shooting close by pretty well. 

I wear Surefire plugs with earmuffs for indoor and just the muffs for outdoor ranges.

I have those...light weight and work pretty good. However if you want more protection, I would also use foam earplug underneath the muff.

well, the results are pretty universal..
