Abstract
A hearing protection device capable of attachment to a temple support bar of any pair of eye or safety glasses. The device comprises an elongated bracket with internal clips for attachment means, along with a hingedly rotating extension arm with attached earplug for providing hearing protection in noisy environments. The rotating assembly allows the earplug to be inserted into the practitioner's ear or conveniently pulled away and stowed against the user's head, away from moving machinery which would otherwise create an entanglement concern. The device provides efficient removal and storage of earplugs in conjunction with eye protection or eye glasses
