Hearing Damage Reported from 3M Earplug Use
Many military situations require servicemen and women like you to spend time in dangerously loud combat settings. As a result, the military took steps to protect your hearing by providing you with earplugs. However, because 3M’s earplug product was defective, you could have suffered damage including:
- Chronic hearing loss: According to Mayo Clinic research, severe hearing loss caused by repeated exposure to loud noise can be difficult or impossible to restore.
- Chronic tinnitus: Mayo Clinic research also suggests that tinnitus can lead to depression and other mental health challenges from living with a persistent ringing in the ears.
- Auditory Processing Disorder (APD): According to research published in the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, APD distorts how your brain processes the sounds you hear.
