The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I don't really know why I started watching this because I don't loving understand shogi and I generally hate anything even adjacent to the phrase "slice of life" but this show is kinda spiritually soothing. Also the pacing is absolutely glacial which I can't even tell whether is a bad thing or not.

I guess it's just nice to watch something that doesn't have trash characterisation and the plotlines aren't fantastical.

I think the implication is not that he is is intermittently deaf specifically, but that he is just detaching from reality. There is a constant reinforcement of his transcendental nature, and that he has the distance of a deity. He sort of fades in and out of the normal plane of existence, and sound is just a part of that.
