You will cause yourself hearing damage if you use an earphone the way you have just described. If indeed they "blew" because of how far you turned them up then it is possible some hearing damage has already been done.
If I were you, I would not be buying a Sennheiser CX anything, as they are not the best isolators around. The Shure SE210 / SE310 are much better in this regard and also don't require high volume to obtain good clarity.
And again, watch the volume - I would wager you are pumping too many dB into your ears.
