A facebook ad came up in my feed saying, "Standard issue ear plugs given to service members between 2003 and 2015 may have been defective. If you were active in any branch of the military during this time and suffered hearing loss, you may be eligible for financial compensation from the ear plug manufacturer."

I gave them some contact information and they sent me some papers to sign. It looks legit, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any advice on this. It looks like it's a win-win: I was issued earplugs during the time in question, and I did get tinnitus for which I've submitted a VA claim. It looks like if they win the lawsuit I could get compensated, but if they lose then I'm just back where I started.

Did you ever go through with this? Did it work out or was it a scam?

The Only issue I have is they want my VA.GOV username and password to get the records they need. Im not that trusting, and when I said Ill get them for you, I was told because its easier for them since they know what they need. At least the law firm that contacted me (which I checked out online) gave me a queasy feeling in my gizzard.
