Waterproof Ear Protection Device

A waterproof ear protection device comprising:

• a waterproof ear cover having a main body including an inner area and an outer textured surface;
• a sound-attenuation insert;
• wherein said main body is concave and dome-shaped to form a protective barrier over the ear and the ear canal opening of a human;
• wherein said main body having a stretchable and water-impermeable elastic material;
• wherein said material is selected from the group consisting of a silicone, a neoprene, a latex, a rubber, and a thermoplastic elastomer;
• wherein said sound-attenuation insert reduces ambient sound transmission to the ear when said waterproof ear cover is worn by a user;
• wherein said sound-attenuation insert having an acoustic damping material;
• wherein said inner area having an inner facing circumferential edge including a concave-dome shape comprising a peripheral sealing rim integrally formed along said inner facing circumferential edge;
• wherein said peripheral sealing rim having a compressible elastomeric band;
• wherein said peripheral sealing rim dimensioned to engage with the surrounding skin around the ear of the user;
• wherein said inner area having a concave chamber for enclosing a helix, a lobe, and an antihelix of the ear of the user;
• wherein said inner area having a wireless transceiver module embedded within said concave chamber;
• wherein said wireless transceiver module having a Bluetooth connection for wireless communication with an external device selected from the group consisting of a smartphone and an audio player;
• and
• further wherein said waterproof ear cover prevents water from entering the ear during activities selected from the group consisting of bathing, swimming, and showering.

A method of providing waterproof ear protection, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a waterproof ear cover having a main body including an inner area and an outer textured surface, and a sound-attenuation insert, wherein said main body is concave and dome-shaped to form a protective barrier over the ear and the ear canal opening of a human, wherein said main body having a stretchable and water-impermeable elastic material, wherein said material is selected from the group consisting of a silicone, a neoprene, a latex, a rubber, and a thermoplastic elastomer;
• reducing ambient sound transmission to the ear with said sound-attenuation insert when said waterproof ear cover is worn by a user, wherein said sound-attenuation insert having an acoustic damping material, wherein said inner area having an inner facing circumferential edge including a concave-dome shape comprising a peripheral sealing rim integrally formed along said inner facing circumferential edge, wherein said peripheral sealing rim having a compressible elastomeric band;
• wherein said peripheral sealing rim dimensioned to engage with the surrounding skin around the ear of the user;
• wherein said inner area having a concave chamber for enclosing a helix, a lobe, and an antihelix of the ear of the user;
• and
• pushing on said textured outer surface to move said waterproof ear cover towards the ear of the user, wherein said waterproof ear cover prevents water from entering the ear during activities selected from the group consisting of bathing, swimming, and showering.
