Again, I would not force others to use checks, and would appreciate not being forced to use a telephone for payments myself.
Live and let live.

Just so.

Being deaf, it is very hit-and-miss as to whether I could use a telephone: the person's voice and accent, background noises/voices, and VOIP over-provisioning are all problems.

Being deaf, I can't use a smartphone. I haven't been able to try a T4/M4 smartphone - and trying one is the only way to be sure. While I'm prepared to spend £20 to see if a cellphone is acceptable, I can't afford to buy multiple smartphones on the offchance that one might be usable.

Instead of the ole inductive coupling wouldnt a bluetooth enabled hearing aid give a better phone choice?

Clearly you are young. I presume you are going to avoid becoming old.

Clearly I was born in a soviet occupied country, where cheque usage was 0.00% and if you tried using it after 1989 everyone just assumed that you want to scam them.

You are avoiding the point. We noticed.
