Hearing loss: This is not a likely cause. You should have a through evaluation of your hearing by a specialist to determine the cause of your hearing loss. You must attempt to limit any further loss.

Yes: ...But not from singing. It is the loud music from the amplifiers that damages your ears.

Highly unlikely: I believe the only way that you could develop a hearing loss as a singer would be exposure to loud noises from the band. There is no relation between air passing the vocal folds from the lungs (sound energy from singing) and hearing loss.
