Risk of hearing loss: Damage to hearing by high volumes is determined by duration, even at reasonable volumes can damage delicate hair cells in the inner ear that transmit sound impulses to the brain. 1 in 5 teens has some form of hearing loss - 30% higher than in the 80s/90s - experts believe due, in part, to the increased use of headphones. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000495.htm
