ABSTRACT:
An ear protecting device 10 is provided for protecting an individual's ear 12 from heat and moisture. The device 10 includes a lower support member 18 for covering areas 28 around and adjacent to the ear 12 and an upper support member 34 aligned with the lower support member for covering the ear. The upper support member 34 includes a recessed member 64 having an aperture 86 formed in a lower portion thereof. The recessed member 64 is provided for covering a recessed inside surface 58 of the ear 12 when the aperture 86 is aligned adjacent the ear canal. A diagonally descending back member 46 is coupled between an outermost portion of one side of the upper support member 34 and an innermost portion of one side of the lower support member 18 for covering a back diagonally descending member 42 of the ear 12. When the device is in place the device conforms to the shape of the ear 12 thereby covering the entire ear as well as adjacent areas 28 of the individual's head 14. As a result a protective cover 10 is formed to cover the ear 12 and predetermined areas adjacent to the ear.
