I've had several jobs in hearing world and yes some were challenging but I managed. I've worked as math tutor at Community College, lowly clerk at hospital, electrical engineer at small company, and web developer at Bristol-Myers Squibb & my college. I've recently had a job interview at American Museum of Natural History as web developer and NJ Transit as GIS Specialist and a private catholic college as Network Security. They'll let me know by end of this week... hope I get in one of them...
As for accommodations, I've used emails and notes. I get a recap of staff meetings with my boss/supervisor/coworker for important details.
In my opinion, working for government is usually the best for people with disability because they go extra measure to provide accommodations but companies tend to provide
minimum accommodations. Some companies don't like to provide it because accommodations aren't cheap unless you're a valuable asset for them, typically managerial positions or important job positions.
My advice to you is to work hard and make yourself valuable to employers! Don't limit yourself to "invisible jobs" where there's minimum amount of contact with customers/coworkers. Rise up and prove them wrong!
