... if there is a significant risk to one's hearing when one is in a club or bar where the music is so loud it is borderline painful? Or does it have to be properly painful to be dangerous? And/or do you have to be exposed to it for days or weeks or months on end?

If there is a risk, then why would any DJ wish to hamper his own appreciation of the music he plays by playing it so loudly? (This, of course, assumes that DJs actually like music, rather than just making a loud primitive noise.)

In my own experience, the clarity of the sound is much better than volume, anyway. Sounds tend to distort at loud volumes, even on very large speakers.
