Having tonsilitis three times a year until I was 25 left me hearing-impaired as well; unless the latter is near the bottom of its range, I can no longer distinguish an oboe from an English horn. Yours however might be worse, masking the overtone difference between an oboe and a clarinet.
My right ear is useless for understanding speech and a few times in my life people have thought I was giving off some attitude because they would speak to me on my right and thought I was ignoring them.
I read lips very well, and when I was studying Cantonese I would even understand its speakers on the other side of a noisy room. But if I don't see a speaker's face my comprehension drops sharply.
I don't read lips that well but the pandpanic showed me that I do rely on it. I don't know how many times I've said "I'm sorry but I have no idea what you are saying" over the past couple of years thanks to the muzzles.
