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. A.U.
