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.

Your parents lie. 16% is nothing for a wireless device like the XM3s, I recall running mine around 30% when I had those, and that was well within safe volumes for much longer durations.
I do run it wired if that is anything to go by.
Dacs don’t usually have a standard volume mapping, so 16% on yours could be 25% for mine, for example. In any case though you most likely are fine, unless it sounds uncomfortably loud at any point.
