You should record your calls. (Assuming you live in a jurisdiction where only 1 party (you) need to know the conversation is recorded.)
I'm much more open to receiving phone calls now, because even if it's much harder to search an audio file, at least I have something to search. If I'm not sure if I forgot something, I can just open up the file and listen to it again. I would still rather get an email, but some people just NEED to take a phone for whatever reason.
Given that you have some trouble hearing, you can take the time you want to re-listen to a conversation with the volume as you like it.
As a bonus, it's also helpful to get a hold of a certain kind of people that thinks they can say anything and are not accountable because it's not in writing.
