I raised this question on another list and on that list I was told about Hearing aid mode on the iPhone . Basically switching the iPhone into this mode completely removed the interference playing in my hearing aids. So I can now use it normally as a phone without having to adopt all these strategies.
For reference Hearing aid mode can be turned on in settings general accessibility and is in the hearing section after the vision section which contains voiceover.
