It's possible the itching is an allergic reaction to the foam or rubber that's used in most earplugs. If true, foam in the helmet would be even worse. Try a pair of ER-20's by etymotics. They make it out of silicone and are reusable.

The idea of earplugs is to simulate the noise reduction qualities of 360degrees of metal/glass/plastic in a cager so foam in the helmet while could help, would make it a nightmare to get on without crushing your ears.
