3M: DoD records show no hearing loss among ‘vast majority’ of plaintiffs

3M said earlier that U.S. Department of Defense records for more than 175,000 plaintiffs show that the vast majority of claimants in Combat Arms earplug litigation have normal hearing under medically accepted standards. 3M said: "This information is included in Aearo’s estimation motion filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Indianapolis. Aearo and 3M remain focused on reaching an efficient, equitable, and expeditious resolution to this litigation. Comprehensive analysis of U.S. Department of Defense audiometric data for plaintiffs who filed claims in the MDL showed that the vast majority of claimants did not have hearing loss according to standards from leading medical and health organizations, including the American Medical Association and World Health Organizations. Under AMA standards, almost 90% of plaintiffs have no hearing impairment. Under WHO and National Institute of Health standards, more than 85% of plaintiffs have normal hearing. Nearly a quarter of the plaintiffs with impairment under either AMA or WHO standards reported their condition in hearing tests before they ever used the Combat Arms earplugs." Shares of 3M are up nearly 3% in premarket trading.
