You can damage your hearing. It depends also on time.
"Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL"
Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t:
115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec)
112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min)
109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min)
106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min)
103 dB = 7.5 minutes
100 dB = 15 minutes
97 dB = 30 minutes
94 dB = 1 hour
91 dB = 2 hours
88 dB = 4 hours
85 dB = 8 hours
82 dB = 16 hours
Lower dBs are said to be harmless

What is auto exposure?
Well.. Exposure is how long the camera takes to take a picture. A long exposure time gets a better and higher quality image when the camera is still. A short exposure is when the camera may move or something in the picture may move. So to keep it from blurring the camera captures an image for a fraction of a second. Auto exposure does this automatically analysing whats happening in the picture to create the best of both worlds basically.
What is the equivalent db level when listening to earphone or headphone volume?
dB is short for Decibel, or one tenth of a bel. Bels and decibels are unlike any other measurement, because an addition of ten means double the loudness of the noise. For example: 60 decibels is the noise generated from a regular conversation, however, 70 decibels is double the noise; and 80 is double that.
