They consist of a thermoplastic or metal headband that fits over the top or back of the head, with a cushion or cup at each end to cover the external ears. They're often referred to as ear protectors, ear defenders, or safety earmuffs. Earmuffs are commonly used in industries like construction, manufacturing, aviation, and forestry where noise levels can be potentially harmful, or in outdoor or cold environment-related occupations for warmth.

Hearing protectors, also known as ear protection or hearing protection devices (HPDs), are essential safety equipment designed to safeguard workers' hearing in noisy environments.
