Social skills can be developed though if you work at it.
It would be a little tricky playing some genres of games with no hearing and they would lose of the cinematic effect but I think it would be tolerable at least for me. You could create the sound effects in your mind if you really wanted to.
I don't think it would be that isolating if you used the net to find new friends with the same disability. Forums and dating sites would be playgrounds. Of course, it would be greatly affect your ability to communicate with regular people. You could just avoid them and use your cell to write something out if you had to communicate. Another choice is finding a device that says what you type into it when you talk to normies. Also, you could learn to read lips.
This discussion made me think of annoying dragon ball super anime. I can't stand their damn voices in it. I wouldn't mind being deaf while trying to watch it.

God, you're not wrong about anime voices, 90% of the time they're freaking torture to listen to and make me wish I was bloody deaf. XD
I still reckon though that losing the ability to hear games, movies, music, and conversation would be a worse loss than the ability to masturbate and the slim chance I may someday get laid.

You really like your hearing.
I couldn't stomach even one full episode with those voices DBS. They sound like they got kicked in the balls. Have you watched any of it?
