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.

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.
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.
