Having worked around noisy jobsites for many years, I experience the same problems with diminished hearing when there is a lot of background noise. However, I think it helps more than hinders to not hear all the comments made by players, coaches, and fans.
I have enough experience to anticipate when timeouts will probably be called and look for them. My only fear is missing some of the trash talk or taunting between players that leads to other things.
