FIELD
The present application relates to a mechanical device that is modular in design with a retractable headband attached to spherical cups through an adapter assembly that face outward to provide an enhanced sound experience.
BACKGROUND
Hearing devices have become a billion dollar industry around the world as a means of improving hearing for the elderly, disabled, hearing impaired, children in overcrowded classrooms and for entertainment purposes. With the increase of costs for such devices along with the economies fiscal fluctuation, it becomes difficult to afford practical and beneficial devices. It's not fair for the average consumer to suffer professionally and academically due to the lack of funds for a product that should be affordable. Along with the high prices tags, technology is shifting towards green friendly devices that are made from recyclable plastics that help preserve the natural environment. These materials are inexpensive, child friendly, and preserve the environment.
SUMMARY
By providing a device with a retractable headband attached to recyclable plastic spherical assemblies costs are reduced while the ability to focus enhanced sound is significantly increased.
The disclosed exemplary embodiments provide a device which is primary retractable and spherical.
In one embodiment the headband entails a plastic retractable unit that is designed for all ages. The adjustable headband is placed to the rear of an individual's head facing inward for comfort and modernization. The lightweight plastic is durable which allow for simple attachment over the ear for an enhanced listening experience.
In an embodiment attached to the headband are two spherical assemblies that fit all ages and are made from recyclable plastics. The assemblies are designed as personal amphitheaters.
Further objects, features, advantages and properties of device according to the present application will become apparent from the detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 2 provides a front and side view of the circular 10″ headband. The headband is lightweight, environmentally friendly plastic, and adjustable to accommodate youths and adults. The FIG. 2 curved embodiment is placed to the rear of the head in a horizontal position. FIG. 2 also provides connecting insertions on the inner portion of the headband, which allows for assembly to the FIG. 3 spherical cups through the FIG. 4 adapter plates.
FIG. 3 provides a side and top view of the spherical ear cups, which are made to enhance the sound as a main component for the Earamps invention. The spherical cups are made from environmentally friendly plastic and are made in multiples of two for each set of Earamps. There is a ⅜″ hole in the center of FIG. 3 which allow for connection to FIG. 2 through the adapter plate in FIG. 4. The FIG. 3 spherical ear cups are placed along the side of the head around the ear, open faced forward.
FIG. 4 provides a front and side view the adapter plate, which is made from environmentally friendly plastic. FIG. 4 has an insertion that is initially placed through the hole of FIG. 3 and is then connected to FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is lightweight and child friendly.
FIG. 5. provides a front and side view of the Styrofoam tubing, which is placed along the edge of FIG. 3 spherical cups. Once assembled along the edge of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 lies along the head of the user and provides comfort and ease. FIG. 5. is lightweight and child friendly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following detailed description, the device according to the teachings for this application in the form of a personal amphitheater to assist with hearing amplification will be described by the embodiments.
