So others have mentioned, you should definitely try InnoCaption. It’s a free service paid for by the federal government if you have hearing loss. It makes a huge difference in your ability to use a phone. You don’t need to get a new number because you can set it to forward your incoming calls to your InnoCaption line. And it shows captions almost instantly as well as providing audio church can be speaker amplified or via hearing aid Bluetooth if you have that capability. The other thing you can do is download transcribe to your phone and hold it or place on a table near you. It offers speech to text translation and I find it incredibly helpful. No , it’s not the same as being able to hear but these 2 apps can definitely lower the stress and energy drain caused by hearing loss
