Your oxygen supplier can give you some foam tubing to cover the plastic around your ears.

Thank you snail - I didn't know about this, and I was going to try to cobble together some foam for the purpose - I read your reply to benney123 (thanx to you also Benney for posting), contacted my oxygen supplier yesterday and they are sending me the "easy wrap" foam for the tubing to protect my ears. I love this site 💚
