Pros to being deaf

There are a fair number of cons for being deaf in a hearing culture (fewer in the Deaf world).

What are the pros? (I'm leaving out all ASL-related pros)

Announcing my deafness is the best way to get someone to stop talking to me (e.g. solicitors).

I've never had to deal with verbal sexual harassment from strangers in public because most men don't try to get your attention before they spew the verbal garbage (which is also a con, because nobody is telling them what they're doing is not OK).

I wasn't effectively bullied while I was in school. It's harder to be bullied when you don't know exactly what someone is saying. I could read their body language and understood what they were trying to do, but they ultimately failed to get under my skin. One person gave up trying to bully me with words and started to bark whenever he saw me. Little did he know that I found this amusing because it made him look ridiculous and idiotic.
(This does not mean deaf people can't be bullied).

I'm better than most people at reading body language. This is particularly important because almost everyone fails adjust their body language when they're try to hide their feelings behind their tone of voice.

I'm not bothered or startled by loud or annoying sounds. Or if a sound bothers me, I can just turn my CI off.

I can't eavesdrop on other peoples' conversations in public places or participate in workplace gossip. This might be a con to some people, but from my perspective, I can't be annoyed by their topic choices.

I'll never be woken up by the sound of a dripping faucet, upstair neighbors stomping around their apartment, dogs barking, ambulances, partner snoring, etc.

Since I read lips, I could eavesdrop on conversations from across the room if I wanted to. It's more trouble than it's worth, but the option is there.

I will never, ever have to deal with telemarketers.

It seems perfectly normal to watch TV using only captions and no sounds. I also only listen to music using earbuds so I never disturb other people in the house.

If I don't want to "listen" to someone, I can simply look elsewhere or walk away.

I'm sure there are other pros that I've left out!
