High risk of developing ...?

A sixteen year old person who likes to hunt , enjoys riding his motorcycle and plays drums in his local rock band is at high risk of developing :

a.stimulation deafness
b.nerve deafness
c.the hunter's notch
d.all of the above

stimulation deafness ......

Stimulation deafness occurs when very loud sounds damage hair cells in the cochlea (as in "hunter's notch"). If you work in a noisy environment or enjoy loud music, motorcycling, snowmobiling, hunting, or similar pursuits, you may be risking stimulation deafness. The hair cells, which are about as thick as a cobweb, are very fragile and easily damaged. If a ringing sensation known as tinnitus follows exposure to loud sounds, chances are that hair cells have been damaged.
