Or a timekeeper in a very very noisy gym. Anecdotal evidence: Before I became a certified official I was the timer at the local HS. I distinctly remember one game where we had a packed house and a close ballgame and toward the end a crucial call was made and the only way I knew to stop the clock was because I saw the calling official's hand go up, there was no other way to know, it was so loud.
