I will be looking for some instruction soon here in the Texas Hill
Country and will have to find an instructor that has experience in
dealing with deaf/hard of hearing students.

I remember reading a how-to-fly pamphlet from the 1940s(?) that had
small photos of the instructor (sitting in the front seat of a tandem
aircraft, of course) demonstrating hand signals. Typically the
aircraft had no intercom, so there were no audio instructions once in
the air. Maybe you can find an instructor willing to learn or refresh
his knowledge of these signals. (And a Piper Cub to go with it, since
they'd be less valuable if you were in the left seat.)
