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.

I listen usually to 75db with 80 spikes (max, but usally 70 with 75 spikes) for 2/3 hours a day (at least), that's what I consider the limit, you can wear earbud at 16% for your entire life without going deaf probably, don't worry
