3M Earplugs Settlement
If you were part of the active military and now suffer from hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears) due to defective 3M earplugs, you may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer. Minneapolis-based 3M produced dual-ended earplugs for hearing protection from close range firearms and other loud impact noises. Due to defective design, the earplugs can loosen slightly and move from the ear canal just enough for loud sounds to cause hearing damage. According to reports, 3M knew of these design defects but knowingly sold the earplugs to the U.S. military from 2003-2015.
