A couple of thoughts, for what they're worth. Depending upon what kind of HA you have, if you have telecoil or not, you can use different devices such as ear hooks, neck loops and bluetooth devices to hook your hearing aid to your iPhone. These devices can cost as little as 30 dollars and upward. If I had voice calling on my phone I'd be using something like this as it's very helpful. the Telecoil also removes all background noise so the only thing you hear is what comes from your phone.
By default, the I Device puts a signature at the bottom of all outgoing messages, that is why you see things like "Sent from my Iphone" or iPad or whatever. many people don't know how to remove it. I leave mine there so people will understand that my emails are short for a reason; I'm not at my computer. I also use the phrase "my mac" the same way I use the phrase "my braille note" or "my iPod." it's just what they are. My husband calls his computer "My Acer" and I didn't think that was abnormal, but as much of spoken English is over my head, I didn't notice. I also see people use "my Blackberry" and other things like that. I am sure some do it as some kind of elitist thing but many people just use the name for it. When people ask me what kind of computer do I have, I answer "Macbook" because it's a quick way to give a lot of information that 1. I am using a laptop and that 2. it's a Mac.
Anyway, just some thoughts. I don't know if you have a braille display or not, but if you do have a bluetooth display you may find it useful to pair it to your iPhone so you can read texts and emails in braille instead of relying upon speech which can be very fatiguing on your ears. Good luck!
