An ear shield includes a lateral portion and a medial portion that are configured to respectively go over the lateral and medial sides of the auricle of a wearer's ear. The lateral and medial portions are joined together by a joining portion that acts as a cantilevered spring member, allowing the distal ends of the lateral and medial portions to move with respect to each other, but which biases the lateral and medial portions to a neutral position suitable for retaining the ear shield on a person's ear. There are articulating tabs further formed at the joining portion which extend to the rear, opposite the lateral and medial portions, that allow a user to move the lateral and medial portions relative to each other.
