I wonder if this might be due to the fact that you feel more comfortable now that you have another way to communicate (ASL)? When I started using tactile sign, I noticed myself having an easier time hearing with my Comtek FM system. I wasn't so stressed about being unable to hear and felt comfortable knowing that I always had another form of communication (tactile sign) I could rely on.
