Just wondering is it even necessary to mention you are hard of hearing until you are interviewed? My husband can't hear a thing without his hearing aids & sometimes he still can't hear unless spoken to loudly with precise wording so he can hear. They aren't getting it about calling you? Can someone else take your call for you? I do that all the time for my husband. He can hear the best on his cell phone but our rotary phones don't work well for him. People just don't get it when you tell them you are hard of hearing it is like speak in an outdoor voice & let me watch your lips move so I can lip read. I go with hubby to appointments & have to sit there & get frustrated with those that hear but don't LISTEN when you tell them he is hard of hearing. There has to be a job out there somewhere waiting for you with the right kind of people.
