Trust me, that's nothing to do with your hearing impairment. Blinkin' Indian call centres.

Your dropping internet connection could be due to a few problems:

faulty DSL filters on phone lines
Using certain equipment (such as faxes) on the same line, particularly without filters
flaky modem
poor signal to noise ratio on the phone line - you could ask your TELECOMS company to boost the line gain. This could help with your hearing impairment too.
intermittent line fault - get your phone company to test the line
poor atmospheric conditions (e.g. electromagnetic interference
or the ISP may have a secret policy to drop internet connections occasionally - it happens
