Loss of hearing clarity: Solutions or strategies anyone?

Thank you for the helpful advice. I did not need to push the issue with my workplace. They would have purchased a new phone system if I had found a compatible one. Since I just retired 8 months ago, I am just looking for a good home phone. I love to hear all these ideas and solutions. I do not live near any major cities. I’m in rural Michigan. I think Grand Rapids may be the closest chapter. All this is helpful knowledge to have next time I see my audiologist. So much easier to advocate when I know what I’m talking about I’ve learned quite a bit since joining the group this year.

I believe that Michigan has a state chapter coordinator, and is one of only 13 states that has an HLAA State Level Organization. If you connect with them, you may be surprised at how much help you'll receive. http://www.hearingloss.org is a resource for the location of HLAA chapters. They exist because people like you and me start them. It doesn't take a large group; only just a few people who want to learn more about how to live well with hearing loss. I may sound like a broken record, but I'm honest when I say I learned more about how to understand and manage my progressive bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss from HLAA than from any place else, and I have had excellent hearing healthcare professionals. No matter how much education and scientific knowledge one has about hearing loss, without experiencing it personally one doesn't fully understand it.
