What is the significance of the X on people's faces from Shouya's perspective and why does Ueno get the X on and off?

Actually how deaf is Shouko in Koe no Katachi and is it revealed why she is only wearing 1 hearing aid?
As it's already been stated in a similar question, Shouko's not completely deaf, but it's still very severe as she wasn't able to understand people clearly. It seems to be very blurry as shown in chapter 51 of the manga.

Why didn't Shouko confess her feelings to Shoya afterwards?
At the scene where Shouko tries to give a plant pot decoration thingy, she tried to confess her feeling to Shoya, but it was rather interpreted as 'tsuki (moon)'.
I'm wondering now why Shouko didn't confess her feelings later?
