So basically I listen to music coz it’s my therapy but I think I’m listening to it too loud I have a sound limit at the moment which is at 90dn for casual music but 95 for the gym, will this affect me in later life or is it okay??

How can you know how loud are you listening?

iPhones will report this, at least with Airpods and presumably Beats. It's in Control Center -> Hearing. They know the sensitivity of their own devices, so they can calculate the loudness. I have also seen this in screenshots of at least one the third party phone apps that many headphones come with.
