   Ear Muffs
 
     Ear muffs are designed to protect the ears from temperature or sound. They are constructed from a plastic or metal head-band, fitting over the top of the head, with each end padded, to cover the ears. Two common types are thermal and acoustic.
 
   Ear Plugs
 
     Examples of ear plugs include expansion plugs, button plugs, porous plugs, and foam ear plugs. An expansion plug is expanding foam that seals the ears. A button plug allows the user to hear sound naturally and clearly, but at lower and safer sound level. A porous plug is made of porous foam and provides high quality protection from noise. A foam ear plug is a type of expansion plug that can be expanded just like an expansion plug to seal the ear canal. Other types of ear protection are commonly available.
