Abstract: Embodiments of a vision-hearing protection device are shown and described, each embodiment including an eyeglass retainer, for holding eyeglasses on the user's head or around the neck, and earplugs connected to the retainer for protecting the user's hearing. Preferably, the vision-hearing protection device includes a retraction feature wherein the earplugs may be quickly pulled in toward the retainer for more secure and compact "storage" and then quickly drawn out toward the ears for convenient reinsertion. In the preferred embodiment, the retainer is a hollow tube having three holes. A cord slidably extends through the hollow tube, with the cord ends extending out from the two holes that are nearer the retainer ends to attach to the earplugs, and with the cord middle portion extending out from the third hole in the rear or middle portion of the hollow tube.
