In May 2021 a Federal Court jury awarded three plaintiffs 7.1 million in compensation for their hearing loss related to the defective earplugs after a five week trial. The award was composed of $830,500 in compensatory damages and $2.1 million in punitive damages for each plaintiff.

The basis of the claims were focused on the fact that 3M knew or should have known that the earplugs they distributed to military members between 2007 and 2013 were defective and provided inadequate hearing protection. This is the first of several 'bellwether' trials in the pending 3,349 pending lawsuit that have been filed against 3M.

Data shows that many U.S. veterans have hearing loss related to defective earplugs. Reuters reports that more than one million veterans have filed for disability related to complications from various types of hearing loss and deafness.
