Zusammenfassung:	An ear-and-eye mask 10 is provided which comprises a mask body (12, fig 1) having an eye mask (14, fig 1) positioned in-use to cover a user's eyes and a pair of ear coverings 18 positioned in-use to cover a user's ears. Each ear covering 18 includes an outer cup 30 which in use defines a cavity 34, the outer cup 30 comprises a first passive noise-dampening member, and a second passive noise-dampening member 42 associated with the outer cup 30 at at least a rim of the outer cup 30. An audio capture device or microphone 56 is positioned in the cavity 34 such that external sounds are damped by both the first and second passive noise-dampening members before reaching the audio capture device 56. An active noise-attenuation and noise-masking assembly 46 is positioned in the cavity 34. The noise-attenuation assembly 46 comprises a noise cancelling circuit 64 which receives an input from the audio capture device 56, and a speaker 36.
