earmuffed
Wearing ear warmers
Wearing earmuffs—the padded coverings that protect ears from cold or noise: The earmuffed children trudged through the snow.
The word appears almost exclusively as an adjective describing someone with earmuffs on, rarely as a past-tense verb for the act of putting them on.
