Is your helmet responsible your hearing loss?
Have you even considered hearing protection on your bike? I do!

This also allows me to not have to wear ear plugs. Have you considered your ears when choosing your helmet? |

This.
I prefer a well ventilated helmet. Ventilation means airflow, airflow means noise. Earplugs take away the issue. |

This, every time I ride. My hearing is still pretty good after 15 years of riding.

I considered the noise level when purchasing my helmet. In addition I wear ear plugs, regardless of distance. I spent some money on custom made ones so they are much more comfortable and get worn versus a cheap foam pair that I'd never wear.
