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.
That’s really smart!
Yes, the back of my ears are getting raw. I can wear ball cap at work so time to improvise!


JJ, those N 95 only works as intended once you’re properly fitted...
n i can see that could be a challenge
Folks here who can wear gas mask w full beard can’t get good seal w n95
