Mask Extender, Face Mask Holder, Anti-Slip Mask Buckle Strap (4pcs)

When I settle in for a five or six hour (or longer) plane ride, I dread the idea of mask loops pulling on my ears the whole time. So I use one of these, which braces the mask firmly but gently across the back of my head.Buy extras -- you will lose them -- but they are very useful.

As someone with hearing aids over my ears and glasses, mask loops bring the risk of pulling off my glasses or, as happened more than a few times, pulling my hearing aids off and flipping them away, into the air and almost being lost. I ordered a pack of 4 of these “ear protectors”LIKE: they can effectively pull the mask loops toward the back of my head and hold them firmly there (taking all pressure off the ears). Used carefully, it might hold the mask firmly in place depending on where on the back of your head the’ll stay (tightening the draw strings to be either below, over or above the ears). This review applies to double layer paper surgical masks and may not apply or even be needed for the N95 masks with their 2 rubber loops extending around the head horizontally both above and below the ears.DISLIKE:1. The 1st of the 4 ear protectors in the package seemed to work ok. But the 2nd time I put it on and tightened the 2 cords, one of them pulled out of the plastic piece holding the 2 side cords together and thus making it harder to keep ahold of the 2 side cords behind the head.2. With another protector, the mask was held secured with the side cords running below the ears and tended to slip downward on the back of the head and neck if tightened over or above the ears. However, with the cords running below the ears, they tended to pull the mask down off the nose.3. The hooks that easily slip onto the mask’s ear loops, also easily slip off. These hooks cannot be closed and one always slipped off in the process of taking off the paper masks.

This actually works. I wear glasses and hearing aides. I can now put a mask on and take it off without becoming entangled with the above. After three episodes of retracing my steps to find a hearing aide in the sidewalk, I decided I needed to find a solution. I do find it a little difficult to get the item to stay connected. I have found it works best to attach, wear at my neck, and, then, just pull up the mask as I approach where I need the mask.

Rather bulky. The mask straps easily fall out of the clips. Difficult to get a comfortable fit. It worked. It helped lengthen the stupidly short ear loops that come on Chinese N95s, but I would not buy again.

My audiologist suggested that I purchase mask extenders so that my face mask did not interfere with my hearing aids. I was sure that was a great idea and ordered this pack.The extenders were reasonably priced and arrived quickly. The first thing that I noticed is that the first one I tried was broken. Because it was a multi-pack, I wasn't too bothered. However, as I tried the others, not one of them stayed connected to my mask. The design of the hooks was defective and fell off the mask making it a total fail.Nice idea but poorly designed so I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

I wear a mast to work all day every day and this extension thing is great. I don't actually need to make my mask bigger, I just like that the clips hold it up around the back of my neck so I don't need to loop the mask around my ears. My ears were getting sore, especially with the elastics some of those masks use. This is also nice because if I pull my mask off my face, it'll stay around my neck like a necklace, meaning I don't have to put my mask down on a dirty surface, or forget to take it with me.

This item will secure ear-loop type masks snugly to the face and generally reduce ear pressure. But the attachment to the ear loops is immovable plastic, not what appears to be a closing clip. It will come off the ear loops when not under tension. When wearing a mask the attachment point on the ear loops cannot be fixed in place to adjust the mask fit, it will always slide to a point below your ears. On one of mine the plastic joint of the two cords came off and the cord material was unraveled but it was not difficult to fix.

Great straps, but a little too short

The hook does not hold the mask strap. It came off easily. It does not lock the strap from fally off

It's great. Stays in place. keeps the ear straps inplace.

Product arrived promptly and works exactly as I had hoped
