ABSTRACT:
A protective enclosure for the human ear which entirely encloses the ear except for a first opening sized to receive the outer ear and a second, lower, opening to act as a drain or weep hole, the weep hole having the ability to shed any liquid that is able to breach the enclosure. The first opening is surrounded by a band of pressure-sensitive adhesive to anchor the enclosure to the skin all around the base of the ear, forming a substantially fluid tight seal for the bag covering the ear. The opposite lateral edges of the enclosure are pleated inwardly to receive the operator's fingers in areas closely spaced to the adhesive while installing the enclosure over the ear.
