ABSTRACT:
An ear protection device made of a molded band of rubber or other elastomeric material which is formed with a cup-like member to cover the ear and seal against the head. The band is shaped to run across the user's forehead in the front, stepping down over the ears and continuing at ear level around the back of the user's head. The inside of the cup-like member may be filled with an absorbent material, to capture any water which may leak in; when used by skiers, such material, if used, provides an extra measure of insulation. The profile of the protector may be kept relatively thin by using a cup-like member contoured to mate readily with the bony regions surrounding the ear.
