If you have a lawsuit against 3M because of the combat earplugs, it looks like the fight is finally coming to a middle.

https://www.wsj.com/business/3m-settlement-earplug-veteran-hearing-loss-26a3038f

3M's board has authorized a $6 billion settlement. There are about 260,000 lawsuits over this and while folk with more damaged hearing will get more than folk with just tinnitus, I think I'm going to end up with enough to leave happy.

You're happy with what, $10k after your lawyers get 40 percent? The VA has already paid me ten times that much as compensation, and they didn't knowingly cause the damage.

From what I was reading there's a stipulation that 3M can back out if 98% of vets don't accept, so some are saying it's essentially another stall tactic anyway because they know so many vets are gonna tell them off. I think I'll leave happy when 3M is razed to the ground.
