I too have a huge melon...so I have been taking buttons and sewing them to my scrub caps for wear in the hospital or putting elating material BETWEEN the earloops and stretching the entire thing over my head - no touchy the ears.
The PPE requirements at the Trauma Center are R I D I C U L O U S despite only having FOUR cases in the entire hospital. eyeglasses PLUS goggles, N95 PLUS a cloth mask, head covering, 2 gowns, 2 pairs gloves, bootie covers.
The EMS guys around here followed our lead and have sewn buttons on their ball caps to hook the earlobes around. Everyone was getting some SERIOUS skin breakdown behind the ears...we still have it nose and cheeks - but the ear thing seems handled now.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
