WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 3M EARPLUG LAWSUIT

If you are a current or former military service-member who served any time between 2003 to 2015 and you suffer from hearing loss or tinnitus, you may be entitled to compensation. According to multiple court documents, the Minnesota-based 3M Company sold defective Combat Arms Earplugs, Version 2 (CAEv2) to the military from 2003 to 2015. These earplugs are dual ended with the intention of offering the wearer two levels of protection. However, due to a design defect, the combat earplugs were not effective and allowed users to still be susceptible to loud noises while wearing the earplugs.
Symptoms of Tinnitus
If you or a loved one served in the United States military between 2003 and 2015, you should pay special attention to the following audio symptoms of tinnitus:
• Clicking
• Buzzing
• Loud roaring
• Screeching whistle sounds
• Ringing deep within one or both ears
• Hissing
An additional symptom of tinnitus may include the strong muffling of noises you would ordinarily be able to hear. If you believe you have suffered tinnitus and/or hearing loss because of the defect designed into 3M Company Dual-Ended Combat Arms Earplugs, you should seek the help of a licensed and highly trained military medical professional that has accumulated several years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of military-related tinnitus and hearing loss.
