I think there are lots of factors at play regarding hearing and hearing loss. Some will have better hearing to begin with, some will suffer less from extensive noise exposure.
But ultimately, there's no sense in exposing yourself to a harm that is soooo cheaply mitigated.
And to any nay-sayings citing safety concerns: I can hear all the traffic noises, all the horns, all the engines getting closer. They are dulled but I hear them. What I hear least is the constant hiss of the air as I ride along.
Also far less tiring on the brain, IMHO.
