Embodiment Construction

[0014] From FIG. 1 in the drawings, one may visualize the front facial view of the Dry Ear Set in use. It shows that the ear covers are made of shower cap like, light plastic. The ear caps are much like small shower caps, but with an important difference. The caps have water buffers on the front edge of the covers. A 3 / 8 inch wide elastic tape stretches from one water buffer to the other, holding the covers in place. The elastic tape stretches across the upper lip and is scarcely felt when in use. Each water buffer is large and soft. It lies flush against the face and forms a seal. Please see FIG. 4.

[0015] The elastic tape is attached by permanent glue on the outside of each water buffer. This placement of the elastic tape further holds the buffers to the face.

[0016] Each component part of the Dry Ear Set, the ear caps, the water buffers and the elastic tape across the upper lip, as a unit appear new and unique. FIG. FIG. 3 of the drawings shows a side view of the Dry Ear Set.
