ABSTRACT:
A sanitary ear covering includes at least a first body and alternately a second body formed from deformably resilient material. Each of the first and second bodies may have a circular shape when disposed at an equilibrium position. Each of the first and second bodies may be adapted to conform to the user ear and thereby remain at a substantially stable position during operating conditions. Each of the first and second bodies preferably include an ear-receiving section defining a cup-shaped cavity therein, an outer rim directly coupled to an outer perimeter of the cup-shaped cavity, an ear plug mated to the ear-receiving section and projecting orthogonally inward therefrom, and a strap removably connected to a bottom hemisphere of the outer rim.
