Yes. In the United States, about 10 million people have permanent hearing loss due to exposure to high sound pressure levels.
Hearing loss can be caused by a noisy environment over a long period of time, or by a single, extremely loud event. Hearing loss due to repeated exposure to loud noise is particularly insidious because the hearing recovers between periods of loudness, but it never recovers 100%. Such hearing loss is cumulative and irreversible, and can happen over the course of years. Most people don't notice gradual hearing loss until their hearing has become significantly impaired.
Yes, it is.
Exposure to loud noises can indeed cause permanent hearing damage. It doesn't always happen and it's not the only way to suffer hearing loss though.

Typical permanent hearing loss is due to damage caused to the eardrum, which can include scaring or perforation, normally caused by exposure to loud noises. Typical temporary hearing loss is normally due either to waxy buildup on the outside of the eardrum (DO NOT TRY TO CLEAR THIS YOURSELF), or a buildup of pressure on the inside wall of the eardrum. There are countless other types of temporary and permanent hearing loss and reduction, consult a medical professional if you even suspect your hearing may be degrading. Many types of hearing loss are preventable if caught in the early stages.
Depends on how loud they are. Exposure to too loud noises can cause temporary or permanent loss of hearing, to various degrees. It can also cause tinnitus, which can be a real problem.
Hearing naturally decreases with age. Decreases in hearing can also be caused by being exposed to very loud noises all the time without any hearing protection. We only get two ears in our lifetime and we need to protect them.

It depends on the type of "knocking noises" you're hearing. Usually knocking noises are caused either by spun or worn main bearings, or worn wrist pins. Either way, it means you need a new engine.
