> overly clever programmers who thought they'd "help" by filtering out noise and volume and whatever else

I used to work at a CI manufacturer. Just thought you should know that this isn't what happens: all the features are developed by researchers or experts before even getting to the engineers, and go through clinical trials (usually several) to prove their effectiveness. They don't, and can't, add new sound processing on a whim to be 'clever'.

If the sound processing on your device is making you frustrated you should definitely discuss it with your audiologist. A lot of features can be configured or disabled completely.
