By coincidence the chap who called to service our boiler recently had the same missing ear (dog attack) issue Steve and being a plumber he has to change masks at every call he overcame the problem by simply slipping a section of plastic straw over a paper clip making a small hook on each end then using it to connect the ear loops behind his head. Clever idea I thought
