Helmets in offshore ops?

I would like to get peoples opinions on wearing helmets in the North Sea Offshore environment.
Reasons for and against?
Should we be pushing operators to provide helmets to prevent hearing loss and protect our heads in the event of an accident or encountering severe turbulence?
The most damaging frequency levels travel through the skull and thus no matter what headset is used, it will not protect against the most damaging frequencies.
Your views and opinions would be appreciated.
