Here are some plain and simple rules for general ear health.
If a sound hurts, it's way too loud.
If your ears start ringing, It's way too loud.
Try to avoid listening continuously for more than an hour or two at a time.
Let your ears and brain rest. Take regular breaks from loud and intensive sounds. If you're listening loud for a little while, take longer and more frequent breaks. If you're listening at lower volumes, you don't need to take as many, or as long, breaks.
Your ears need air. Don't keep them plugged up or covered for like 6 hours without letting in some fresh air, or you risk getting skin irritations.
If your parents are not satisfied with this and might take away your headphones or are just being weird about it, you could show them these articles.
