Are you suffering from hearing loss or ringing in the ears from faulty ear plugs?

About Defective 3M Earplugs

3M develops earplugs for the U.S. military. While 3M is usually known for creating quality products, it turns out that they knowingly sold defective combat earplugs to the military. They failed to communicate known defects in their earplugs that limit their effectiveness in protecting users’ hearing.

Possible defective 3M earplug Complications

From 2003 to 2015, these 3M earplugs were distributed to thousands of United States troops who were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. The defective 3M earplugs failed to properly protect the hearing of those active service members, resulting in hearing loss and Tinnitus, also known as “ringing in the ears”. Other symptoms of hearing loss from defective 3M earplugs are:

• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Muffling of speech
• Trouble hearing consonants
• Withdrawal from conversations
• Need for increased volume on TV and radio

The defect in the earplugs is that they didn’t maintain a tight seal and allowed dangerously loud sounds to come through without the wearer knowing. The lawsuits claims that Minnesota-based 3M Company designed the earplugs in a defective manner and failed to warn users of the defect. 3M also failed to provide proper instructions for their use.

3M Earplugs Lawsuit

The failure resulted in hearing loss, tinnitus and loss of balance in those who used 3M’s dual-ended Combat Arms earplugs during their military service between 2003 and 2015. 3M employees knew about the earplug defects as early as 2000.

Although testing conducted by 3M found that the earplugs were defective, the company falsified certification stating that the testing complied with military standards.

The defective 3M earplugs were sold to the U.S. military as recent as2015, which means that some may still be in circulation in our active military. If you or someone you know has suffered from hearing loss or Tinnitus, they may be entitled to compensation.
