Americans who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines during the years 2003 to 2015 were required to wear 3M Combat Arms Earplugs. The earplugs were used by the military as a protective measure in extremely loud environments. The 3M earplugs did not protect military members as effectively as intended. A defect in the manufacturing of the earplugs made them unable to fully protect users, and there is evidence that 3M was aware of the inefficacy of their product.

The Earplug Defects, and the Role of 3M
Faulty design and manufacturing of the 3M Combat Arms Earplugs resulted in the release of products that were too small to cover the opening of a user’s ears. The earplugs’ flaws made them unable to be completely inserted into the ear. This caused the earplugs to either fall out of the ears of users, not fully cover the ear, or be otherwise ineffective at noise reduction, resulting in injury. Litigation has revealed that 3M was aware of the defects and negligent in their testing of the product. The lack of sufficient protection from the defective 3M Combat Arms Earplugs caused significant damage to users’ inner ears, including:
- Hearing loss
- Tinnitus
- Auditory processing disorder (APD)
- Problems with balance
Military members who used the defective 3M Combat Arms Earplugs are involved in lawsuits around the country based on claims that the earplugs caused them harm, and if you believe you also have a case, contact our Memphis attorneys today to begin pursuing compensation.
