Default It's even worse if one has hearing issues?

Firstly, not everyone uses a smartphone - especially when they're at home. Secondly, several of the Customer Service Representative (CSR) issues are not only strong accents - but, also extremely rapid speech. I have hearing aids and have a difficult time understanding ANYONE on the phone - English speaking, or otherwise. I always request that anyone with a strong accent "please speak louder and more slowly". Even that doesn't work oftentimes. I wish there were a way around this issue, too.
