ELI5: Does driving high speeds with the windows open damage our ears in the same way really loud music does?

In short. Yes.

In a bit longer way, yes. Motorcycles have this issue as well. The motorcyclist after a few years on the road starts getting some hearing loss, and while at first some assumed it was the engine, measurements show that in highway speeds wind easily surpasses 100+ decibels, which is well within the "damage" threshold. Add a couple of hours of that constantly, and you have a perfect recipe for tinnitus.

With cars you could get a tiny bit of absorption because of the...well...windshield, but that bwop bwop bwop that occurs in rapid fire is still pretty much as damaging as.
