Possible Oracle Life / Deaf option?

[Vicc_Blackwolf]

I am playuing an ifrit oracle and have been skimming around for good options for what to do with him. One thing I thought about was Mystic Theurge with sorcerer with fire bloodline but that wouldn't be viable till at least level eight and I would be far behind in spellcasting, not to mention the curse problem. I'll have to ask my gamemaster how he feels about the silent spell ability of the deaf curse since the view is split here on if it affects other classes. Heres a list I've been working on for possible options, please give me your input on this or tell me about possible prestige classes I haven't looked at. I don't have enough strength to attempt Rage Prophet.

Mystic Theurge options
Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 3 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 3 ranks.

Spells: Able to cast 2nd-level divine spells and 2nd-level arcane spells.

Sorcerer/Fire Bloodline
Summoner/Synthesist
Bard/Archeoligst

Pathfinder Savant

Eldritch heritage feats

Deaf seems really hard to RP.

I personally say Synthesist, as even the hit to your spell casting should be overcome by your eidolin form, assuming you use a good build. And fluff wise, if you can build your eidolin to be a beast of fire, sticking with your elemental background. One question to ask though: does the synthesist who is deaf hear what his eidolin hears?

Another option I was thinking of was taking leadership at 7th level. This would be cool for RPing purposes if I get a cohort with telepathy, or I could just build my character up to have telepathy, which would be good in battle.
