I keep earplugs in all day. I startle at loud noises.

I like fireworks, but the noise bothers me. However, I've found that ear plugs work quite well to remedy that.

I enjoy watching fireworks, though not enough to make an effort to go see them. The noise keeps me awake at night, even with my earplugs.

I love fireworks, but if I got to sleep before them I would probably sleep through them considering I slept through a particularly bad thunderstorm when I was in a tent! I would never miss fireworks though, because fireworks are awesome, unless they happen unexpectedly, which I really hate. this happens a lot around Guy Fawkes day (I live in NZ, and this is the big fireworks day, celebrating the british government not being blown up several hundred years ago. kind of a strange thing to celebrate, but the fireworks are fun)

I like them but if I set them off myself I have to cover my ears. They're just too loud.

I wore earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones, and we sat a distance away from the action, and it was great! Still pretty loud, but nothing that was going to make me cry. It's the first time I've been able to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks in 22 years!

They make me jump too but for a few years now I have been to firework shows that my fiances grandpa puts on and I have helped set them up and even stand right under them as they are shot off but it does help to have ear protection. It helped me to see what they are and how they are set up and now I love them and even want to shoot one off at the next show.
