Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather & Littky-Rubin Notifies Veterans Experiencing Hearing Loss That They May Be Entitled to Compensation

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Defense recently settled with 3M Company for $9.1 million upon allegations that it knowingly sold defective dual-ended Combat Ear Plugs to the U.S. military for use in combat missions.

The Dual-Ended Combat Arms™ Earplugs, Version 2 (CAEv2) were supplied to the U.S. military from 2003 to 2015. The earplugs claimed to offer two types of earplugs in one unit. The yellow side was intended to protect from loud impulse noises yet still allow the soldier to hear verbal commands and conversation. The green/black side was intended to protect against constant noises generated from heavy machinery like tanks, airplanes, and helicopters.

As a result of using the defective earplugs, many veterans now suffer permanent hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). You may be suffering from hearing loss if:

• Your speech sounds distorted;
• You require a high volume on the radio, phone, and television;
• You struggle to hear others on the phone;
• You find it difficult to follow a conversation in a group when multiple people are speaking.
