A strange person

I don't know much about suppressors. I was always under the impression that they are only useful on cartridges what's bullet velocities are subsonic. Lately, I've noticed on many suppressor manufacturer's websites that suppressors are also available for weapons chambering cartridges like the .223 and .308 (distinctly NOT subsonic with any factory ammo). I always thought that suppressors on modern rifles with high-velocity cartridges was video game nonsense.
Am I correct in thinking that, obviously, these would merely stifle the muzzle blast, and could do nothing about the sonic crack following the bullet? Is the consensus that this sonic crack is insufficient to give a shooter's position away? How about hearing damage? Could the sonic crack alone cause hearing damage?
Thanks.
