You have a right to dignity at your workplace. Where I work, if I had make comments like that to a disabled worker, I would come pretty close to getting fired. Its very insensitive on their part.
If your coworkers truly have a problem with you, or the other disabled worker, they should be filing a complaint. Sounds like your exgirlfriend could use a shot of maturity. In this world we have to learn to live & work with all types of people.
If I were you I would contact HR. It sounds like some of your fellow employees need a reality check.
As a footnote, I worked with a deaf girl briefly, and if she couldn't lip read what we were saying, she would have us write it down. I don't know how that would work for you, given your job, but it made communicating with her easier.
