Any noise you expose yourself to at a young age does cause permanent damage, but it usually takes several exposures to "add up" to hearing loss most people associate with age (but it's not--noise is the #1 cause of hearing loss in the US).

It is never too late to start hearing conservation. Any damage done will not reverse, but you can avoid more damage by being careful. Noise exposure damage is cumulative throughout your life.
