So, I'm not the only one. (I've partly overcome this, but I still prefer to only use the telephone for extremely short conversations (30 seconds or less) or when it's the only available medium for communicating with a given person.

Yep, same here. My hearing is fine, but trying to understand speech through a telephone is a chore unless I'm in a very quiet room, and even then I can't hear the other party if they interrupt me.

Is it possible that you have an auditory processing disorder? My fiancee has it and this sounds pretty much like her experience with phones.

Mm. I'll make an appointment with my doctor today.

Cell phones have notably worse audio quality than landlines. Are landline-to-landline calls also a problem?

It's been a while since I've used a landline. Since the quality is better, I'd expect there to be less of a problem.
