I've always been an ACE only player and I've got to say those annoyance never steered me away but I feel your pain, that said they are less and less nowadays. I rarely put earplugs in and don't really notice deafness as rapidly as before, blackouts while piloting seem less and less, or maybe it's me adapting.
This would be my biggest remaining grief, it's incorrect and unsafe.
