Something that won’t break the bank, as I’m not OT rich.

Any suggestions? Walker Ranger Slim is what the Google AI recommends.

Walkers. I have had zero issue with them and batteries seem to last a long time.

You wear them by themselves or with earplugs too?

If looking for max protection, use muffs and soft ear plugs. Turn volume up if you need to hear instructions. If shooing by myself, I use non-electronic ear muffs and plugs. Non-electric muffs will have a higher NR (reduces more sound) than do electronic muffs.

I’m mostly shooting in an indoor range, and just earplugs by themselves isn’t really cutting it.

Walkers are what you want. If you ever get rich, buy some Sordins and you'll never go back to anything else.

Walkers work pretty well but you cant go wrong with .45 fmjs stuffed into your ears, either.

What about a pistol range bag? Any suggestions?

Cheap Amazon bag Amazon

I’ve been using the stock Glock hard case and bringing the ammo and accessories in a shopping bag, like a bum.

Can't help ya there. I normally just stuff everything I need into a backpack or duffel bag, dry bag, ammo box. Depending how discreet I want to be.

Take it from an old deaf coot, buy the ear muffs but order the Radians ear plug kit for maybe $14.00

Follow the directions. Nothing to it. Put a marker dot on the right one.

You really need to use both if on an indoor range or with big magnums on an outdoor range.

I've got Peltor and Walkers - the Peltor is a little better NRR and better build quality, but not THAT much better - for the price you can't beat the Walkers.

When I'm shooting outside the muffs only are fine, for indoors I use the muff and foamies together

I have the Savior Equipment Apollo electronic ear muffs. I find them to be comfortable and work well. I want to say I paid less than $50. Also have a rifle bag from them and can't complain about the quality for the price.
