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.

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?

No. If you turn it up too loud, it could. You are not doing this. Not even close.
