Lot of good thoughts and suggestions here. I would mention the hearing situation as often screening interviews are the first contact and are usually by phone. However, you don't need to make this sound like a problem. Here is another draft you may want to consider.
"I am a graduate from the The Ohio State University with a Bachelors of Art degree from the College of Arts. I am looking for an opportunity to utilize my creativity, art education and photography training and feel I would be an ideal candidate for this position. I would welcome an opportunity to meet with you to illustrate my creativity, capabilities and practical experience in the art/multimedia/entertainment field.
I should mention I have a hearing impediment that does not impact my abilities in anyway due to a cochlear implant however an in-person interview would be more effective than a telephone interview. I will be happy to provide additional details by email.
Enclosed is my resume and I look forward to speaking with you".
Hope you can use some or all of this. Good luck.
