I'm hoh myself and orally skilled as well, I speak perfecly well and read lip so well and hear well with C.I. ,, but when I take C.I. off I am tone deaf. I was hoh when I wear hearing aid. But hearing loss got worst so C.I. was best option for me. I still use ASL signs as well. So since you posted that some of them rejected me is cuz you are hoh. Don't worry about them that rejected you. They are not true friends and nice people, there are plenty of nice people out there for you to make better friends because you are different from them. Be strong and be yourself and be proud of who you are. I think you be fine and over-come that.
