I'm hearing impaired, and although I'm a lip reader, I have issues sometimes talking to people on the phone. Sometimes I want to cry.

If I may offer this piece of advice: Cry. Cry as hard as you would like, as long as you like. Seriously. Take a moment through the week, where you are private and where you will not be bothered and let it out. Cry into a pillow or a stuffed animal. If you have a friend that you trust, completely trust, tell them you want to cry and have to let it out on a specific time and day.
Your friend will raise an eyebrow at you but if they can be trusted, they will trust what you desire.
When that great cry is over, hug yourself. Hug yourself big time. Look online for ways to make communication through the phone easier for you (especially if it is for a company that deals with your bills). If its family and friends, again, research. Knowledge. You got this far and are using this online service right now. When the time comes, you will be able to use your voice again or have the resources available that could even better your hearing. Amazing advances in technology nowadays.
Good skill to ya.
