Suffer Hearing Loss or Ringing In the Ears From Military Service?
3M Combat Arms™ Earplugs Issued To Service Members & Contractors Between 2003 and 2015 Alleged At Fault
ALARMING NEWS: The Department of Justice filed a blistering lawsuit against 3M® claiming they knew and failed to disclose defects with its Combat Arms™ Earplugs v2 (CAEv2). The defective design may be to blame for thousands of cases of hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in service members of all military branches, as well as civilian contractors.
3M® agreed to settle this lawsuit for $9.1 million -- opening the door for individual service members to seek their own financial compensation.

The 3M Combat Arms™ Dual-Ended Selective Attenuation Earplug: The Big Controversy...
The Department of Justice isn’t laughing...
The U.S. Government filed a scolding lawsuit against 3M®, maker of a widely issued earplug among service members and civilian contractors between 2003 to 2015.
The lawsuit, which was settled for $9.1 million has opened the floodgates for individual servicemen to seek financial compensation of their own -- for suffering loss of hearing or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) during their service.
The Department of Justice, along with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, alleged that 3M® knowingly sold defective Combat Arms™ Earplugs Version 2 (CAEv2) to the US military without disclosing defects that limited the effectiveness of the devices.
The earplugs were dual-ended (one side yellow, one side olive green) and allowed for “selective attenuation”, which meant that depending on what side you inserted into your ear, it would either limit all levels of sounds, or just limit high-level sounds (ie. gunfire), but still allow low-level sounds like talking.
The problem? 3M® was alleged to have known the earplugs were designed "too short" to properly fit in the ear. Because of this design flaw, the earplugs would loosen -- exposing the eardrum to damage-producing noises.
The DOJ complaint further claimed that 3M®’s test results were falsified with the intention of deceiving the government into believing the earplugs met the military requirements for safety.
Did you use these 3M® earplugs?

Were You A Victim of These Earplugs? Have Documented Hearing Loss or Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)
The thought of a private company potentially falsifying test results, hiding and concealing known defects, and supplying them to our best and brightest servicemen and women -- knowing veterans and civilian contractors could suffer life-changing hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is BAD enough...
But, WORSE is the fact that 2.6+ million veterans filed for disability due to hearing loss and tinnitus -- and there are likely millions more that haven't but suffer just the same.
How many of these veterans could have normal hearing right now if it wasn’t for a defective earplug that should have NEVER made its way into the hands of our service members?
While the Dept of Justice lawsuit sought justice for the U.S. Government, it doesn’t seek justice or directly help or compensate those who were the true victims -- our veterans.
The good news is... The DOJ settlement has opened the doors for service members and civilian contractors (like yourself) to seek financial compensation for the hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) you may have suffered due to the 3M® Combat Arms™ Earplugs.

For Veterans & Civilian Contractors
What To Do If You Suffered Hearing Loss or Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears) -- Which Could Be The Result of Defective Earplugs
The law and the U.S. Government protects service members and civilian contractors from dangerous and defective products that can cause unintended health consequences -- such as hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
If you (or a loved one) may have suffered hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) as the result of defective earplugs that may have been fraudulently sold to the U.S. Military, a conversation with an attorney may be the most important things you will do.
As a result of the manufacturer of the defective earplugs failing to properly disclose the known defects and product limitations, you or your loved one may have suffered hearing loss or tinnitus, subsequent disturbance to your normal living and work, along with unintended financial burdens.
As such, you may be entitled to financial compensation in the form of "money damages", which is a legal term for money awarded from individual lawsuits, settlements and class action lawsuits.
