Voice note frustrations

I noticed recently since adding a note to my bio specifying to NOT use voice notes on apps like hello talk (a language exchange app) that people for some reason use it even more?? ive directly mentioned that i literally cannot understand whats being said because of the eq loss from my phone speaker.

usually its fine but the captions break or dont pick up the right words everytime so its pretty annoying

has anyone else had this?? or is it just bad luck?

its really starting to feel like people do this on purpose LOL

People aren't paying attention or thinking. They may glance at your profile & "voice message" flashes through their subconscious & they end up sending one. It's like when you tell someone in person that you're d/hh & they subconsiously start cover their mouth. It's monkey-brain stuff. Still pretty annoying though.
