<p>There is provided a hat (10) for wearing on the head of a user and carrying a pair of support arms (18) arranged on opposite sides of the hat with respect to each other. The support arms each carry a tragus deflector (20) respectively and are adapted to be able to exert a biasing force when the hat is worn. The tragus deflectors face each other and are locatable over the tragi of the ears. The tragus deflectors are further adapted to be able to deflect the tragi from resting positions under the action of the biasing forces to thereby substantially close the auditory canals of the ears of the user. There is also provided a method of protecting the hearing involving the use of the hat.</p> |
