Ask them if you will go blind from watching TV for 2 hours a day.
yeah I knew that was bullshit when they said it
There is an element of risk with headphones because it is common to turn them up too loud because more loud equals more enjoyment for most people, but you are clearly careful so they should respect that. A flat out "you will go deaf" statement that doesn't take into account what you are doing, serves no purpose, teaches you nothing, and in fact only makes you question their other rules.
so will it cause hearing damage in the long run?
If you're currently content at 16%, then anything loud enough to hurt your hearing might be too loud for your taste anyway.
If you want to try higher volumes, the speed at which you start to experience listening fatigue can also clue you in as to which settings are appropriate. But you're not going to blow out your ears or something while experimenting; it takes extended, sustained misuse.
No. If you turn it up too loud, it could. You are not doing this. Not even close.
