Yes, definitely wear ear plugs inside. I use Howard Leights and as Tommy says you can hear fine wearing plugs underneath thanks to the electronic amplification.

The ear plugs especially save the day when you wear safety glasses which make a good ear muff seal difficult to get. It only takes one or two shots for you go go home with tinnitus, cumulative hearing damage.

I believe the Howard Leights don't seal as well as Peltors, reason I went with the HLs as they are flatter, supposed less interference with cheek weld. Either way, wear plugs under them.
