Abstract: An ear protecting, noise blocking system for covering an ear includes at least one ear protecting member having, an adjustable outer rim to conform to the ear of a wearer; and a flexible noise attenuating member located on an interior portion of the ear protecting member. The ear protecting member encompasses a top portion and a bottom portion of the ear and is inter-changeable between a left ear and a right ear. The adjustable outer rim removably-couples the ear protecting member to the ear of the wearer. The flexible noise attenuating member is pres sable against the ear to create a seal to block out noise from entering the ear during desired quiet times. The flexible noise attenuating member is putty. The putty does not enter an ear canal of the ear, but it can be pressed against the ear to create a seal to block out the noise.
