Well, other players who can hear perfectly have also missed because of not shooting in time.
It happens.
If he can't hear the shotclock, why haven't they said/done anything about it? It's played 13 matches, and about 75 racks of 9-ball. Guess they would have figured out if he can hear it or not...
If they have complained and Matchroom didn't care to find a proper solution, then shame on Matchroom.
EDITED TO ADD: I am pretty sure that it was Niels that made a timefoul either last year or the year before.
