@thebluewizard - No, it would not do for you and I've mostly seen conferences use signing exact English. Valerie (my wife) is deaf in one ear and impaired in the other, wears hearing aids and reads lips.
I have bilateral temporal bone encephalocele with soft brain tissue in the air spaces of my ears, and now pretty badly impaired on the right and somewhat on the left. I have started using the assistive listening devices in public venues and use computer text assistance while videoconferencing.
