Would it be viable to just state that you are hard of hearing and require text based communications? While its not the strict truth, its a much simpler and more understood 'hard' disability, whereas when you state a disability that is perceived as 'soft' (ie any given mental issue neurotypical people assume you can just think through/get over) theres more pushback on you to normalise yourself rather than for them to accommodate.
