Sorry to bring up that hot topic again, but I just wanted to let you
know that there is a company that sells covers for the ear cushions that
might help with some health concerns.  They look like little shower
caps. I have them displayed on a bulletin board if anyone wants to
purchase a set for $.25.  They have not been a big seller but it is an
alternative.  Following is the info the company sent me:
Oaktree Products does
sell headphone covers includind:
        Safe Sound Disposable Earphone covers for $13 for a bag of 100
        AcoustiCovers for $56 (canister of 200)

The Safe Sound Disposable earphones are comprised of softer material which
signficantly reduces any rustling or crackling sounds that the patient may
hear when the covers are used. For example, when the patient moves his or
her jaw, some ear phone covers are made of such rigid material that the
patient can hear the rustling of the material. That is why I would recommend
if you are interested in purchasing disposable earphone covers.
  Please feel free to call us to
order or to assist you with any questions you may have. Our toll free number
is 800 347 1960.
