No, most drummers do not go deaf. However, they are at a higher risk for noise-induced hearing loss due to the loud sounds they are exposed to when playing their instrument. To minimize the risk, many drummers wear earplugs while performing. It is important to remember that repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels can lead to permanent hearing damage, and drum kits can reach up to 120 decibels.
