Earplugs blamed for veteran's hearing loss

The Gazette

September 09, 2025

A REDCAR veteran claims 'defective' earplugs he used for 12 years in the Army have left him with hearing loss and tinnitus.

- By SUE KIRBY

Lance Corporal Rikki Drury says he wore the combat earplugs, made by American firm 3M, during his tenure as a driver and a bomb disposal specialist in the Army's Royal Logistics Corps, including on operational tours in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 40-year-old says he now suffers from hearing loss and tinnitus and is involved in a UK legal claim against 3M. Rikki, who now works across multiple projects including setting up Castle Court, a refuge for military veterans, is making a claim through KP Law.
