Abstract
A double hearing protection system (120) comprising an earplug portion (122) of the system contains a tether attachment mechanism (123) that may be selectively attached to the interior of a circumaural hearing protector (125) designed with the mating attachment (154). The tether (123) retracts into the earcup (125) when both the earplug (122) and circumaural hearing protector (125) are worn, ensuring that the earseal (126) against the head is not broken by the retractable tether (123). The attachment point (154) inside the earcup (125) mates to the end of the tether (123) in a way that prevents foreign object damage in dangerous work environments, and limits the vibratory path from the earcup (125) to the earplug (122) through a flexible attachment mechanism (154).
