Yes, for sure, you are more susceptible. I say that because you've already lost some hearing, and with even the slightest additional loss, you will notice it more. I am speaking from experience too.
I lost most of my hearing in February 2023. Now I can't do anything without losing a little bit more. I went on a boat ride, my tinnitus flared up the weekend after, and I could tell there was a slight drop in clarity and loudness. This has happened twice now. And the only thing I did that could be considered "dangerous" was being in a small room with chatter, like at a party.
Any extended time in environments above 80 decibels is a risk. Do not take that risk.
