If you suffered hearing loss or another related impairment because of 3M Combat Arms Earplugs, you could sue the product’s manufacturer. These products should have protected soldiers from loud noises––not damage their inner ears.
Loncar Lyon Jenkins can shed more light on this matter when you give our team a call.
What’s the Lawsuit Against the Makers of 3M Combat Arms Earplugs?
From 2003 to 2015, the United States military supplied soldiers with 3M Combat Arms Earplugs. These products were intended to protect soldiers from loud noises that could cause permanent hearing loss. Instead, however, many of these products did exactly the opposite. Because of their irregular design, some soldiers needed to push them deep into their ears, damaging the inner ear’s nerves and hairs.
Evidently, the makers of 3M Combat Arms Earplugs knew about the hazard but did not share these details with the government. The U.S. Department of Justice noted that after suing 3M Company and Aearo Technologies, Inc., they recovered $9.1 million in damages.
Now, both 3M Company and Aearo Technologies, Inc. are the subjects of multiple lawsuits by affected individuals.

Could You Join the Mass Tort Against the Makers of 3M Combat Arms Earplugs?
You could pursue compensation via a product liability case if you or a loved one suffered health problems because of these earplugs. You do not need to prove negligence. Per the American Bar Association (ABA), your case will be based on the fact that:
- The product’s manufacturers knew (or should have known) about the hazard.
- The product’s manufacturers failed to issue warning labels or a recall to protect soldiers.
These earplugs were used during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. If you served during these times, you might have suffered hearing loss due to use of the earplugs. We can examine your service records and other information to make this connection.
