try switching ears...
I have a mild hearing loss and hate to talk on the phone if I can in person. Cell phones are a lot harder to hear on than landlines. (Even for a landline, I have to align the speaker right up against my ear--I've accidentally hung up on people by pressing the wrong button with the side of my face.)
I have found that my hearing is better in my left ear than in my right--whether from years of holding a phone next to my right ear or not I don't know. Or you could try a headset, or text-messaging.
