I have that exact same scenario. I wonder how many ships have passed me by without my knowledge simply because the sonar guy didn't hear them. Although I must admit that when I hear a ship and sonar doesn't I've no idea what the range is. I have now taken to doing sonar checks intermittently rather than relying on solely on my sonar guy. I have also noticed that by enabling ambient volume it seems easier to hear ships. Maybe that's just me or maybe it's the key to why the sonar guy has poor hearing.
