Communication with NT is very hard and often frustrating. I now am in the situation to have people hard of hearing around me and it's very difficult to cope.

It's exceedingly frustrating to have sudden interruptions or other 'plan changes' in the communication due to them simply not hearing. Eg in the middle of a thing you are doing for someone they turn away because they think they are not addressed or the communication is over.

Do you have experience with this and if so, how do you deal with it?

There are apps that can show text when you talk, like live captions, that might help.

Another app I recommend is a big text app, you can type what you are saying and it will show it in large readable font.
