  • EARPLUG
    Publication number: 20090320860
    Abstract: An earplug comprises a plug body composed a material such as silicone, petroleum jelly, or cotton impregnated with petroleum jelly, which exhibits plasticity and can be deformed freely at ordinary temperatures. A plastic film cover enclosed the plug body. The plug body is in the shape of a bullet, with a tapered end adapted to point toward and enter the user's ear canal. The end of the cover at the end of the plug opposite to the tapered end is formed into a removal extension, which can be grasped manually for removal of the earplug.
