That's good to be realistic about your chances. Not overly hopeful. Not overly pesimistic either. Have you tried looking for women with autism or a sister of one who's cool with it (I guess that kind is like a unicorn)?
I guess that makes sense in your case why you would choose that. For me, I could deal without my hearing. I watch alot of anime so I'm used to subtitles when i watch something. I also use it when I play games. i read alot of books and I like dicking around on forums. Get disability benefits, work from home and date a cute chick who's a deaf or a mute. Learn to sign and use texting to talk. It could work.

It's less a matter of them being cool with it and more that I don't have the necessary social skills.
This has actually got me thinking about gaming while deaf; I suppose those that rely on visual feedback could be played, but I imagine it'd be tricky to play games where audio cues (outside of speech, which can be subtitled) are important. Like not being able to hear footsteps, gunfire, etc would be a big problem in some games. Not being able to hear music ever again is a very unpleasant thought to me though, and not that I'd know but I have heard that being deaf can be extremely isolating because it makes communication tricky. I mean, most people don't know sign language.

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.
