[eli5] What happens when someone with healthy hearing wears hearing aids? Is it equivalent to what happens to your eyes when you use binoculars?

It's what happens when someone with healthy hearing takes a speaker at say, 2/10 which sounds comfortable and cranks it up to 6. Painful and damaging.

Hearing aids nowadays tend to be calibrated to people's range-specific hearing loss though. So if it were properly calibrated, it would... well, just be off if they had perfectly normal hearing.
