ear guards
Cold weather headwear
Ear guards are protective coverings worn over the ears to prevent injury during physical activities, especially wrestling and other combat sports where ears are vulnerable to friction and impact.
Without protection, repeated trauma can cause cauliflower ear—permanent cartilage damage.
Ear guards also refers to attachments on eyeglasses or headwear that protect ears from cold: These earmuffs double as ear guards.
