Is your helmet responsible your hearing loss?

I do take my ears into consideration with helmet choice. If it's too small, it makes my ears hurt.

Now, I also consider my hearing when researching a new helmet. But, regardless, I always wear ear protection when riding. The good Lord only gave me one set, and I don't want to ruin them. My mother is severely hearing-impaired, and it's really difficult living with a hearing-impaired person. As an added benefit, wearing ear plugs reduces the wind noise, and reduces fatigue due to wind noise.
