Does hearing continue to deteriorate after exposure to noise stops?

If you lose lets say 30% of your hearing from High decibel loud noise it cannot return however that is one good reason why people wear hearing aids because the more stress you place on the brain to hear (particularly damaged cochlear hair cells) the more chance of additional hearing loss. The audiologist will fit your aids to your hearing gain and if its 70% it will stay at 70% however the brain will not struggle to hear. I hope this was somewhat clear?

Does it mean that, unlike the well-known opinion, NIHL does deteriorate after noise exposure stopped? due to the brain effort to hear after the cochlear damage has occurred.
If it is, could you please share refereces?
If it is not proven or supported yet, but a very interesting assumption or thesis you developped, thank you for kindly sharing it with us.
