.Good jdea
I wear oxygen and glasses plus hearing aids. Very frustrating when I need to take one or the other off and everything comes off. This way I put in hearing aids then the oxygen cannula with these gadgets attached. My glasses go on next. If I remove anything only that item comes off.

Written by Verified Shopper, 2022-05-18 -
.Modify
As other reviewers have noted, these don't stay on. However, I solved the problem by applying a strip of mole skin to the seam. It keeps them closed and on, and mole skin is gentle on the skin. They are not reusable that way, but it's a small price to pay for comfort.

.Sleeves on oxygen nose peice
My experience was good. I would make one change one the sleeve as they seem to slip during use. If some stickey stuff was applied so it would stay together and easy to pull apart to add to another set of nose pease it would be number one.

.Don’t waste your money
Won’t stay on. Continually fall off or slide up and down the cannula. Frustrating.0
Written by Verified Shopper, 2021-11-15 -
.Hopeful Husband
Will not stay in place. Offers relief if you tape them closed onto cannula tubes; however, removing the tape destroys the Ear Protector because they are made with soft foam. If the manufacturer could come up with a way to secure them onto tubes without sacrificing comfort and the protectors, it would be a great product.

.Totally useless!
I thought I was purchasing completely round & closed ear protectors. These are open (like a hot dog bun) & fall off.
Written by Verified Shopper, Tom's River, NJ2020-07-22DHM Notes: We're sorry you were unhappy with the E-Z Wrap Foam Ear Protectors. They do have a slit down one size so you can insert them onto the cannula. If they were a closed tube like you're suggesting there would be no way to actually insert them onto the cannulas so that is likely why the design is like it is. If you're looking for closed loop ear protectors for cannulas, consider purchasing Salter's TLC Cannulas as they have the closed loop protectors installed on them during manufacturing.

I bought the ear protectors for my masks I'm making so they elastic doesn't chafe the ears. They work great. I do wish they were a little more narrow in diameter but I've made them work for what I need. I think masks should come with these generally but for now, these work great. Thank you!

.Item too short to do what is needed
The way you described the item was what I was looking for; however, when I tried using them they were too short to cover the ears correctly and they kept coming off because they were too small.

.Best solution we've found for cannula rub on the ears!
We were using Band-Aid "dots" and neosporin to try to control the red, rubbed raw spots on my wife's ears caused by her 24/7 use of oxygen cannulas. We had tried some of the other solutions available as well, like hair pins to hold the cannulas up off her ears, those little flesh-colored stick ons, etc and nothing worked. Since she started using these foam ear protectors, the problem has gone away. Just don't get them wet. Now, if they could figure out a way to make them stay in place a little bit better, they would be perfect.

.They really help!
The cannula tubes were rubbing behind my ears and causing sores. Any pressure caused some pain. I tried bandages, new skin and a couple of other things but they wouldn't stay on, and they looked ridiculous. These foam ear protectors work very well. The sores have healed, they are comfortable. I recommend you put a small strip of scotch tape around the ends and in the middle of the foam pads to keep them together ....but not too tight or you might not be able to adjust their location.

They certainly improve the comfort in wearing the oxygen concentrator, but the foam needs to be more flexible so that it wraps more comfortably around the ear.

I wasn't sure if the soft foam ear protectors would work or not but it was better than I expected. My ears didn't hurt in the morning and using them also helped to keep the nasal cannulas in place over night. Last night was the first night I didn't have to adjust.

.Will not stay on the tubing by themselves
After less than an hour, the EZ Wrap come off the tubing. I taped each each, wrapping the tape onto itself, since it would not adhere to the foam. After a couple of days of use, they form a 90 degree angle and the tube exits at the angle. I may have to add a third piece of tape at the enter. But they DO do the job. I have not had any pain or chaffing since starting to use them.

It was easy to insert the hoses from my cannula into the tube through the split but then the tubes kept coming off at night as the slits opened very easy. The only way I am able to use the tubes I bought is to scotch tape around each tube in the middle then they stay on.

The e-z wrap foam ear protectors would be wonderful IF they stayed on the cannulas. I tried using self sticking bandage to wrap the protector and keep it closed but that defeated the purpose of a soft smooth surface aganist the skin. I won't be buying these again.

.Useful for protection from eyeglass ear-pieces
I believe these would be very helpful in protecting the ears from wire eyeglass frames. I have the plastic frames and a pad does help. At the point where the ear-piece widens, the pad slips and I have to reach up and readjust it a bit; however, it's still the best thing I have found for that purpose.

Like others have said, I cannot keep these things on cannula so they fail to suit my purpose long term. They just keep popping off and if you wear your cannula at night, you are searching around your pillow in the morning to find them as they will be off and gone before morning.

I have to rate this item very poor. I haven't been able to keep the protectors attached to the cannula , especially during sleep periods. They don't seem to stay in place once positioned. I was hoping the would relieve the pressure at the top of my ears but they haven't stayed in place long enough for that to happen.
Written by James G A, 2016-04-07 -
.A good idea
These seem like good idea, because my husband wears hearing aids and glasses and now the oxygen over his ears. The three of them caused a of of chaffing which was very uncomfortable, so I thought these foam covers would give some much needed padding. Hiwever they have a slit down them in order to get them over the nasal tubing and they roate around and do not stay on. My husband has a habit of taking his oxygen off and on a lot so they are more trouble than they are worth.
Written by J. Hoffmam, 2016-03-29 -

I use this to help prevent tubing marks across my face during the night. I put it on with a little bit of paper tape on both ends and that seems to do the job. Really wish there was some other way to fasten it but this works.

Wraps do the job of protecting the ear from being chaffed by hose. They are easy to install but difficult to keep in place. This is to be expected because of the slit required to be installed. A little paper tape works to keep them in place very well. Overall I am satisfied the product.

.Yet another use for these little babies!
My major problem is the outrageous dents in my cheekbone area caused by the cannulas. As a side sleeper the dents have been a VERY major problem for me as they can last all day and into the evening only to be repeated again. These less than 'pretty' little 'divots' were becoming permanent! So, these little foam covers have really solved the problem. I started using a pair on my cheeks and they seem to spread the pressure of the cannula on the skin. The 'Ear-mates' brand is very good for this purpose as well as being a wee bit more flexible. You might wish to try both and see which works best for you front and/or back. As many reviews have mentioned, these don't stay on especially well; UNLESS you tape them on using silk tape which keeps them right where you put them. I've tried other tapes but they tend to get stuck to your skin more quickly as well as tending to be scratchy. Paper tape wasn't a bad option, but you must keep it very flat when wrapping so it doesn't create bumps. So, I've been using a pair about 3/4" above the nose aspect of the cannula, then tape them on carefully with silk tape and viola dents are 75% less obvious and a LOT less deep. Using narrow little strips of tape, spiral them up the foam until completely covered, using very little tape to connect them to the cannula. (the less tape the better as too much can create unwanted 'bumps'. When using them on the ears, I use 3 little strips. One top and bottom to attach them to the cannula and another around the center to keep the foam closed around it. It also works to tape them completely, but it's not quite as soft as the foam. So, those of you who have tried these and hated them, tape will solve whatever problems you may have had. I think they are WONDERFUL!!!

.Soft ear wrap
This is total waste since it will not stay on the tube, maybe a little glue strip to keep it wrapt will solve the problem.

.Helpful
The ear protectors arrived very quickly. They easily slipped on to the tubing...and slipped out of place repeatedly. We just needed to add some medical tape to keep them in place, and then they were great for Dad's sore ears. He's a happy camper.

Who knew that a short piece of rubber hose could be so comfortable? These rhings are a MUST for those whose ears can be chafed by cannulas.

.they work, BUT...
These work, but will not stay on the canula. have used some drops of super glue and that works for a bit, but the foam tears at the drops eventualy.

I use these ear protectors for the nose cannula on my face and they work quite well. It keeps lines from forming on my cheeks. I highly recommend them.

. Somewhat Happy
These work but it takes one pair on each side to protect the hose from touching my cheeks as well as my ears. I'd like to see longer foam protectors. I also to have to wrap them with tape to make them stay on the hose line.

.E-Z Wrap Soft Foam Ear Protectors
I'm sorry to say the ear protectors don't work very good, they come apart. There should be a way to seal that opening somehow after you put it on. I even tried to put it on with the opening on top, still didn't work, came loose right away.

These ear pads are very nice. They are very comfortable. The only problem I had was keeping them on the tubes, so I used some cloth tape to keep them on.

.Great Invention
My husband had been on oxygen for some time and began to complain of soreness behind his ears because of the tubes. In fact, there were actual sores on his ears. These ear protectors made the tubes much more comfortable for him and the sores quickly disappeared. My husband is off oxygen now, but I will keep the remaining protectors for possible future needs. Thank you.

.waste of time and money
The item I purchased for my mother did not work at all. We put them on and almost immediately they sprung off. They are poorly and obviously are intended for individuals that are completely unable to move and even then I doubt they would stay on.

.Good ear buffer
The good - these things are great for keeping the cannula in place, i.e., no jamming the cannula up your nose when the hose gets stuck on something or stepped on (something I do myself way too often). They also make the hose more comfortable on your ears. The bad - they fall off too easily. They also slide up and down the hose so you are always adjusting (when they haven't fallen off). My wife suggested a spot of super glue. That sounds like it would fix it but I haven't tried it yet.

.NEW USE. These prevent the face lines!
I finally found something that WORKS. Now I can sleep the side of my face at night without having to deal with the deep lines the canula leaves on my cheeks (that can last up to 3 hours after removing the canula). I only need oxygen at night so the "lines on the face" might not bother someone who needs oxygen 24/7, but it is a real pain for me to have to go to church or work with canula lines. I just wish someone would make longer versions of this foam that would go around the ear (if needed) and cushion the canula all the way to the nose tips. Unfortunately, I have to buy several - epecially if I also want to cushion my ear.

.Another use for soft foam
I wanted to use these on the section that is between the nasal section and the ears, because that's were I get "indents" while sleeping. They didn't stay on those sections, so I was disappointed.

.Good product
I just got these and am so glad I ordered them. I am a side sleeper so every morning I would wake up to an indentation on my face where the canula tube had pressed against my face as I slept. Putting the foam ear protector on the tubing in the area where it would typically touch my face made all the difference, and now when I get up and look in the mirror, I don't have that ugly indentation that always took so long to go away. So far they seem to stay in place OK.

.Not so good
The foam is very soft and would be great except that they do not stay in place and come off very easily. My recommendation is that you put double sided stick on them so once you set them on the oxygen hose they don't slip out of place.

.My wife loves your product
We purchased the E-Z wrap soft foam ear protection for the Cannula and the first time she used it she loved it. She has been on oxygen at night for about six years and has always had trouble with the cannula leaving impressions on her face when she got up in the morning,. but the first time she used it with the E-Z wrap, no more marks on her face and it is 5 times more comfortable than any other cannula she has ever used. She would not be without this item from now on.

I realize these are single use items, but I've been using a set for about a week. It helps with soreness somewhat, but the protectors don't stay on the tubing very well. Would probably work best for someone bedridden and not very active.
