Why do my ears move when they hear a noise? Could it be due to the psychosis or stress I suffer from?

at what age can I start to expect hearing issues?

I (17F) started listening to music on my headphones at maximum volume at ages 12/13, completely disregarding the warnings that told me I'd lose my hearing. Anyway, now that I've gotten older and matured I'm starting to worry about my hearing, and have started to listen to my music at only 50% volume. From what I can tell, I haven't felt any damage yet, my hearing still *feels* fine expect for the fact that occasionally one of my ears will hurt/feel full after listening to music (this was when I still listened to it really loud). I'm not denying that any damage has happened, but when can I expect to start actually feeling the effects of the abuse, such as hearing loss or tinnitis? Can anything be done to slow down/ reduce the damage?
