You work?
the number one reason they gave me for not hiring me wasn't because of my speech skills but because they didn't think i would be able to keep up, hearing-wise, like phones, meetings, etc. It was my deafness that concerned them, not my speech. and by the way, my speech is very good.
that's why i became my own boss. it was like "fuck you hearing world, i am going to start up my own company and pay myself."
so much more empowering than pounding the streets trying to get a job.
