Get your own Ear saver from LTKY’s office!

Would you be using face masks more often, if they weren’t so hard on your ears? In the South Karelia region, we have a recommendation to use face masks in public transportation, and you can’t avoid them in maths trainings, either. If the masks are not comfortable for you, the Ear saver might be just what you need!

The Ear saver is a band-like part, that you put the mask’s strings on. It sits behind your head (on neck or upper), so the face masks strings go over and under your ears, but continue all the way to the back of your head. This way the strings won’t burden your ears. The Ear saver is made of ecological PLA plastic, and it has 5 different settings for different fits. Photos of Ear Saver can be looked in LTKY’s social media and in the weekly news in our website ltky.fi.

You can get your own Ear saver from LTKY’s office at 9,90€ per piece. There are colors white and black, and other colors are available when contacted via ainmardesign.fi. The producer is our own student here in LUT.
