Yes. Take steps to protect your ears. I played drums for years as a kid without them and I have permanent tinnitus. Fortunately it’s not a dominating presence, but I can always hear when it’s quiet around me. It has stayed at same level for 15+ years because I started managing it - basically wearing ear plugs to concerts / playing drums and keeping my ear phones to lowest level possible.
