Do musicians have a high chance of becoming deaf?

Asked by Vincent_Lloyd (3007points) October 15th, 2012

I’m curious if musicians have a high chance of becoming deaf in comparison to people that aren’t musicians. I’m a drummer and usually after I finish my ears are always muffled and have a high pitch ring it lasts for an hour sometimes more. But is that severely effecting my ears? If so how much can a humans ears take before becoming mildly deaf, to profoundly deaf?
