3M® Earplugs Linked To Tinnitus and Severe Hearing Loss
- Millions of users affected
- $9.1 million in settlements
Troops were issued combat earplugs intended to safeguard their ears against the harsh noises and potential damage experienced in combat scenarios. However, it was discovered that these earplugs were flawed in design.
Owing to these design imperfections, the earplugs could not be inserted correctly into users’ ears, thus failing to create a secure seal. This resulted in soldiers being exposed to dangerously loud sounds. Numerous soldiers who utilized the 3M® Dual-Ended Combat Arms Earplugs Version 2 (CAEv2) reported instances of hearing loss and tinnitus stemming from flawed design, after using these earplugs during combat operations.
In response to the situation, 3M® reached a settlement of $9.1 million to address allegations that their CAEv2 earplugs were responsible for causing hearing loss and tinnitus among users.
