I have my workers office phone, email and cell phone number just in case. Email is our preferred method of communicating though.

If this is really about lack of ability to communicate with her, go above her to a supervisor and express your concers. It seems silly that a woman who cannot hear wants to talk to people on the phone??

The SW encouraged me to call or email her whenever i want. We are both in CT. I have emailed her quite a few times with questions that come up. She is always very pleasant and answers my questions.
