Is Miscommunication Common in Remote Frontend Development?

I'm feeling overwhelmed in my first frontend dev job, especially since it's remote. I previously worked freelance, so this is all new to me. We have various resources like Figma designs, API specifications, and diagrams, but much of our communication is verbal, and it often leaves me confused. During our planning meetings, we discuss tasks, estimate time, and divide the work, but sometimes the API doesn't match the design, and changes are made without any documentation. This leads to me forgetting comments or misinterpreting tasks. I have auditory processing challenges and a shaky memory, making the lack of thorough documentation really tough. Shouldn't there be written records for all these discussions? Is it just me feeling this way, or is poor documentation a common issue in remote work?
