Foam plugs not as effective as full ear defenders. Would recommend proper kit from likes of Bilsom, Moldex etc. Not as expensive as you might expect from Arco. Ask for MSA Marshal's discount and they will be a little cheaper.
Check the pads seal adequately when wearing clutter round the lugs - hats and specs arms can get in the way and cause sound leakage.
The right sort should still enable you to have some kind of conversation ie not total isolation. Need to be adjusted to be comfortable for wearing for longer periods. Should then be able to listen to Radio Silverstone too via an earplug.
Useful to have the headband that will go round the back of the head as well as over the top - better when wearing wide brimmed hats.
Final thought, don't risk damaging the hearing its too precious - but we often only discover this in later life.
