Do I need ear defenders?

[Salgar]

Going to my first V6-Turbo era race this weekend. Do I need ear defenders? Or will some foam earplugs do?

I went to a V8 generation race and it was LOUD and set off my tinnitus even with ear defenders on.

To confirm, absolutely didn't need them.

The GP2 and Porsche Supercup were louder...
