Don't have a stutter, but I am hearing impaired. Also a solo founder (so far!)

So I have the following too problems

1. Conversations are never very smooth since I often have to ask the other person to repeat what they said.

2. My speech is not as legible as a non-hearing persons speech, but understandable for most part. No stutter though.

I don't think you have any solution apart from acceptance (which would help with the stress levels I guess). Accept your limitations, find someone do sales for you and in investor meetings, if there is a question that you couldn't answer very well due to the stutter, send a followup email to an investor explaining it.

Apart from that, do your best, don't measure up yourself to others and try your best to avoid replaying affected conversations after they are done.
