Active Noise Cancelling is BAD for your ears??

Hi All,
Recently visited an audiologist and he seemed quite certain that ANR headsets were bad for your hearing. He asserted that because they transmit 'anti-noise' into your ears, you may feel better but your ears are getting just as much (if not more) noise damaging energy. Is there anyone out there who can verify or disprove this theory?
Happy flying,

QF
