Do you think I could get hearing loss if...?

I play in two music ensembles, band and orchestra, for around 50 minutes, both of them once each week. The song I'm playing in band is quite loud though (it's Smokey Mountain Rhapsody btw) and I'm worried my hearing will go bad and that I'll have to stop playing my flute. What do you think? Thanks :)

Oh and btw I don't play for 50 minutes consecutively. Maybe a few minutes break every now and then.

I think that you should always use a bit of caution. You may not realize it now, but when you are playing in a band, sometimes the music may be much louder than you think. Hearing loss could be a possibility.

If you do have concerns about this, you should talk to a doctor - one that specializes in these matters. He/she could do some tests and see if you have already lost some hearing. He/she would also be better to advise you on what you can do to still be able to play in the band and protect your hearing.

The stats on hearing loss in musicians says that there is a greater chance of hearing loss (due to loud noises) in musicians compared to non musicians.

I don't think so. I've had screamo music playing in my earbuds, that was loud like really loud and I can still hear perfectly. I think your hearing will be fine.
