I've been told by an "expert" that Noise cancelling headsets that create white noise can cause permanent damage to your Ears if you use them too much?

So I guess the SAAB 2000 and Q system on the Dash could also cause damage over time????
Aren't we 'canceling/reducing' audio levels here with NC headphones? I don't believe damage is done to the human ear If you reduce sound waves to relatively low db levels. Am I wrong?

However, if one were exposed to 'white noise' by itself (@ reasonable db levels...), then, I could see where possible damage may occur..
