For Disability services I had to provide an audiogram to be approved for DHH services. This is a standard requirement at all colleges & univeristies I've ever heard of.
For extra time on a written exam - why do you need the time? Do you have other issues aside from being hoh? If so, that needs to be filed with Disability Services at the beginning of the course, stating that becuase of a learning disability or a physical challege impacting writing/typing you require additional time. You do need to have a Dr note stating that you have been assessed for and have *condition x* which may/does require additional time for exams, papers, note takers, etc.
In itself, Hoh/Deaf have no reason to get extra time for written exams - the exception to this would be if in addition to being hoh/deaf you also had proven language comprehension issues etc.
Again, all this needed to be addressed at the beginning of your courses, not 3 days before your exams. That being said, if you do have a legitimate medicial diagnosed by a dr or through disability services testing, then you'd have to get a medical waiver immediately and notify disabilty services right away.
