Yeah, I do that when I lose the 'dot' through the propeller (e.g. sun is behind me) but I don't have the ability to hear better at all! I've seen some videos on youtube where you could hear the DB 601 supercharger from miles away

but that's not how my game works fortunately. I hear the hiss with canopy closed when we do close flyby, like headon pass, or more often, after I bounced him. That's why I believe it's a bit harsh to call all open canopy fliers 'cheaters'.
