Do I hurt my ears at listening to music at and around 70 decibels?

I can sometimes turn it up to 75 decibels (according to a decibel meter app on my phone from my listening position).

I usually listen at around 65 decibels. And on my iPhone through my Marshall major 3 I rarely go over the halfway mark.

I estimate my listening time a day to be 3-6 hours excluding YouTube watching.

I’m 18 years old and gave a slight ringing in my ears and I am a little bit scared of my hearing getting worse.

I don't know if the general medical consensus has changed since the 1970's, but back then it was said that 80 db was fine, 90 db was pushing it, and 100 db was a sure ticket to rock star deafness.
