Have you tried a communication device or a recording device to explain to people who happen to call you, that says something like you have a difficult time speaking. I myself use a communication device called the Pathfinder and it does wonders over the phone. Again, it's my job to make technical service calls over the phone to anywhere, and people have been surprised about how well a communication device sounds over the phones, and I have had high success rates too.
