Ear muffs are protective devices worn over the ears to provide hearing protection.

• Ear cups: These are the padded or cushioned parts that cover the entire outer ear. They are designed to create a seal around the ear, blocking out noise or keeping in warmth.  
   
• Headband: This connects the two ear cups and fits over the head, holding the muffs in place. The headband is often adjustable to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.  

• Hearing protection: Industrial ear muffs are designed to reduce the intensity of loud noises, protecting against noise-induced hearing loss. They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, airports, and other noisy environments. The effectiveness of these ear muffs is also measured by their Noise Reduction Rating (NRR).  
   
     
   

Key features of ear muffs include:

• Comfort: The padding and headband should be comfortable for extended wear.
• Noise reduction (for protective muffs): The level of noise reduction varies depending on the design and materials.
• Fit: A proper fit is essential for both comfort and effectiveness.
• Durability: They should be made of sturdy materials to withstand regular use.

Ear muffs offer a convenient and effective way to protect your hearing in noisy environments.
