I responded with:

"XXXX,

Thank you for your quick response and interest in speaking with me. I would like to share with you that I have a hearing loss which is mitigated well with a cochlear implant. However, meeting in person still works better for me than speaking over the phone. Accordingly, I'd like to request a meeting in person so I can fully demonstrate my abilities and experience. Please let me know what time and date works best for you.

Sincerely,
Rachel XXXXXX"


And now we wait to see what happens. Nervous about this one, because I really want it! Pray, pray, pray.
