If you’re a member of the military with hearing loss or tinnitus, you’re not alone. Veterans are significantly more likely to have trouble hearing. Your condition may be due to faulty 3M Combat Earplugs.
Members of the military used these earplugs until 2015, and in 2016 a whistleblower accused 3M of selling them even though they were defective. Now military members are coming forward about their health issues that are tied to the earplugs.
