I use a Sony 1000XM3 at 16% volume for about 2 hours a day with ANC off. Will I go deaf if do that everyday? I have never used headphones before this in my life. I am in my teens. My parents say that I will go deaf.

Am no expert but do watch out for tinnitus. If you get a sign, take a break. I have chronic tinnitus and it's not fun. I've learnt to just ignore it though.

Just to make it clear, I did not get it from headphone. It was so from childhood but I've heard of people getting tinnitus from loud volumes from headphones, speakers, concerts, bands, etc.
