Abstract

A hearing protective device that includes a first ear cup, a second ear cup, and a headpiece. The first ear cup is maintained in a fixed position in the first end of the headpiece through a frictional engagement, and the second ear cup is maintained in a fixed position in the second end through a frictional engagement. The hearing protection device is beneficial in that the user can easily change the ear cup if damaged or if a different level of sound attenuation is desired. The user does not have to buy a whole new earmuff apparatus.
