I believe that the new digital hearing aids reduce loud noise to an acceptable level. My son wears these in both ears and can go to a concert and hear every word, without it affecting his hearing afterwards. This noise reduction was confirmed by my son's audiologist.
The older style hearing aids, however, do still need addiational protection.
