"What's the score?" "Was the ball out or in?"

For the past few years, I have been playing doubles tennis. I play almost year round but less in the summer when the heat is high. During the spring and summer, I play with my wife; during the fall, I play with someone else. Playing tennis with hearing loss presents new challenges. I often can't hear the score being called by my opponents and when the call is questionable (is the ball in or out?), I often can't hear what my opponents say. It is worse with indoor courts as the sounds are bouncing off the walls. My wife has encouraged me to let my opponents know I have a hearing loss, to ask them call the score loudly, and to use hand signals to indicate if the ball is in or out but frankly, I'm tired of the disclosure process. SHL affects things as simple as playing tennis, something I love doing . In addition, the sound of the ball when my racquet makes contact with it is also different and affects how I play tennis. Nothing seems easy with my hearing loss, even something like tennis.
