Can singing damage your hearing? Are there any singers in history who have gone deaf due to singing?

I’ve been a singer since age 15, and have started feeling slight pain and a burning sensation in one year. It’s probably not good, so am wondering how safe it would be keep singing, just sing at a lower level, or stop singing altogether. Hearing loss is degenerative and permanent so at this point I’m wondering if it will continue to get worse (until deafness) even if I stop. Any help would be appreciated.
