ABSTRACT:
An ear protecting apparatus adapted to protect children and infants from discomfort and potential hearing damage associated with noisy environments. The apparatus includes an adjustable headband having a pair of noise-attenuating earmuffs provided at opposite ends thereof, respectively. Each earmuff includes an annular member which entirely surrounds the user's ear and a noise-attenuating dome-shaped member which is shaped, dimensioned, and adapted to press against an outer portion of the user's auditory canal to effectively seal same from loud noise. Both the annular member and the dome-shaped member are preferably fabricated of a noise-attenuating foam material. The headband is spring-biased to urge the earmuffs inwardly so that they will be comfortably pressed into position on and around the user's ears.
