This doesn't mean anything.
Hearing loss is directly correlated with listening to audio at high volumes. The amplitude and distance to the speaker is all that matters. It's well-established science.

I’m not wrong, I’ve listened to 100db+ for a good 35 years, 5 hours a day, every single day. So how is it I have near perfect hearing? Doesn’t that break your theory? No? because it’s not based on fact.

You're absolutely wrong, I've got decades of live music experience. The older musicians with poor hearing are the most evangelical about using hearing protection because they never did. The older ones with good hearing will tell you that they have always used hearing protection.
It's not a theory, there are numerous studies about this very subject!
Genuinely amazing how wrong you are about this.
Go and talk to older musicians who always wore hearing protection, and then go and talk to musicians of the same age who never did. You'll see the effects very clearly.
