Hello there, I'm new here!
Just wanted to introduce myself and like to meet people who are or have experience in self employment with hearing loss. I have cochlear implant myself and often use mobile phone with friends and family. However I still get quite nervous with strangers and that doesn't help with business. What advice could you give me ?
Thanks in advance

Don't guess my kids's
There is information and links about hearing impairment here that might help.

I have hearing loss too, and try to avoid phones where possible. Conference calls are particularly inaccessible for me. I prefer to video call on Skype instead. People are much more open to this than they were 5 years ago.
Is this possible in your line of work?
