Abstract:
The pressure relief device for ears includes first and second ear assemblies, corresponding to first and second ears of a user, and a resilient headband. Each of the first and second ear assemblies includes a hollow vapor chamber, an earpiece, a container and an absorbent pad. The hollow vapor chamber includes an upper portion and an open lower portion. An open internal channel is formed through the hollow vapor chamber. The earpiece has an opening formed therethrough and is adapted for engaging the corresponding ear of the user. The earpiece is secured to the upper portion of the hollow vapor chamber, and the opening is in open fluid communication with the open internal channel. The container is releasably secured to the open lower portion of the hollow vapor chamber and is in open fluid communication with the open internal channel. The absorbent pad is removably received in the container.

Claim (Index 6):
A pressure relief device for ears, comprising:\n first and second ear assemblies, wherein each of the first and second ear assemblies comprises:\n a hollow vapor chamber having an upper portion, an open lower portion, and an an open internal channel extending between the upper portion and the lower portion; \n an earpiece adapted for engaging an ear of a user, the earpiece having an opening formed therethrough and being secured to the upper portion of the hollow vapor chamber, the opening being in open fluid communication with the open internal channel formed through the hollow vapor chamber; \n a container threadedly attached to the open lower portion of the hollow vapor chamber, the container being in open fluid communication with the open internal channel formed through the hollow vapor chamber; and \n an absorbent pad formed from an absorbent material, the absorbent pad being removably received in the container; and \n a resilient headband extending between, and supporting, the first and second ear assemblies, whereby a hot liquid may be absorbed by the absorbent material of each of the first and second ear assemblies, such that water vapor evaporating therefrom may flow through the open internal channel formed through the hollow vapor chamber of each of the first and second ear assemblies and into ear canals of the user.
