ABSTRACT:
A pair of ear pugs that are attached to eyeglasses or safety goggles by a cord. The ear plugs, which are preferably made of foam or some other deformable material, can attach to each other. When the ear plugs are connected to each other, they, along with the cords attached to them, form a continuous strap for holding on a pair of glasses. This in-line arrangement allows a pair of ear plugs and their attached cords to function as a lanyard when the ear plugs are not in use. This arrangement in which the ear plugs can be separated provides a breakaway lanyard as required by OSHA for safety and reduces the chance of injury due to the lanyard becoming entangled in machinery. This arrangement also eliminates the requirement for separate cords and reduces the likelihood of lost ear plugs.
