earmuff

Lobe insulation device

Earmuffs are a pair of soft pads connected by a band, worn over the ears for warmth or noise protection.

Winter earmuffs keep ears from freezing; industrial earmuffs block harmful sound levels.

The singular earmuff occasionally appears but the plural dominates: I left my earmuffs in the car.
