The body - all of it is a muscle and needs exercised.
Old saying use it or lose it is spot on.

You are wrong, you have it backward. You don't have to believe it for it to be true, but it's true.
People start wearing glasses not because they've stopped using their eyes. They start wearing glasses because their eyes are not as efficient as they once were, and now need assistance to do what they exist to do.
Body parts wear out. Some body parts wear out more quickly than other body parts. And some body parts will wear out quicker if they're abused.
Many people have been exposed to very loud sounds for long periods of time, and that damages cells. The damage doesn't self-repair. People who ride motorcycles. Folks who attended loud concerts when they were kids. People who fly a lot. Construction workers. Jackhammer operators. Landscapers who use loud lawnmowers and other lawn equipment for a living. And folks with genetic disorders, or who have experienced injury to their heads. The list goes on.
All these things take their toll on your ears. There is no "exercise" to do for your sense of hearing. Eventually - your hearing is bad enough that you need assistance to hear.
Wearing hearing aids doesn't make your hearing worse. It makes it better.
I mean, it's like suggesting that if you climb up a staircase you won't get to the top floor, it'll just keep you stuck on the first floor or force you to end up in the basement. That doesn't make any sense either does it?
