  I don't know what kind of firecrackers you're used to, but I am living
proof
that firecrackers can cause permanent hearing damage.

  The answer to "how much hearing damage" always winds up being a

  There's no black-and-white, either-or situation, like "either you get

or you don't" where hearing damage is concerned.
