Does anyone have experience with having a deaf French bulldog. I am wondering how to communicate with him?

I'm scared that my frenchie is scared of me or I'm not his favorite person anymore.
For context I have PANS/PANDAS so I have a lot of meltdowns. Yesterday I was upset because I felt like my food was dirty. I went thru like three cans of Pringles before they felt safe. I threw the bowl. Not at anyone, especially not him. But I just threw it in general. I don't think it did, but it almost hit him. That's the most recent but I do scream a lot. We've had him since August 4th 2025 and he's just over a year old.
Idk if he does whale eye, but he does give side eyes a lot. Idk if it's the same tho. He also was licking his lips. He licks a lot of things tho... I saw him yawn but idk if it was stress of just sleepiness. He always follows me around but I feel like the past two days he been following my mom a lot more. I feel like I'm his second choice. I love him so much he's one of the few reasons why I keep going. I would never want to or try to hurt him but I feel like I have... What should I do? I'd NEVER EVER EVER do anything bad to him. But what if I've traumatized him? What if he hates me??? Also he usually comes up on the couch with me the most while I'm eating... What if he only loves the food and not me.
Maybe I'm think about it too much but I just love him and I don't wanna be jealous but I wanna be his favorite person. He's my puppy. I love him.

My Frenchie is experiencing seasonal allergies as well as regurgitation issues. He is on apoquil for the allergies but tends to throw up his pill 50% of the time. He eats a hydrolized diet which is about $200 a bag, that bag lasts about 5 weeks or so. I wonder if a while food diet would be better. Specifically fish for the protein. I know it would be more expensive, but maybe only a little more than the hydrolized food?
