Abstract
A sound-attenuating assembly may have a headpiece and two covered dampening assembly that may be detachably attached to the locations of the headpiece that oppose a wearer's ear; the dampening assembly may have a padded member member that may be in contact with a dividing member that may be in a contact with a compressible member which may be disposed within a concave member; the dampening assembly may be disposed within a cover such a fastener of the cover detachably attaches to a fastener of the headpiece.
Claims8
A sound attenuating assembly configured to be worn by a human, comprising:
- a headpiece comprising an inner surface;
- a covered-dampening assembly comprising:
- a cover;
- and,
- a dampening assembly disposed within the cover;
- the dampening assembly comprising:
- a padded member;
- a compressible member;
- and,
