*eta* You all were having your conversation while I was typing. But I will leave my response in place.
Based on one of my jobs, the unofficial answer is yes. I often re-schedule people who say they are hard of hearing or need to get their hearing aids and can complete an interview later. In my workplace, it is possible for people I interview to hear other interviewers' voices. I do not know if this makes it more difficult for people with hearing difficulty than for others. Sometimes, it distracts me! In other situations, I reschedule because I am no longer able to project my voice over background noises such as television, music, etc. Those people "should" turn down the volume, let their answering machine pick up, or be prepared for someone like me to re-schedule them in the hopes that an interviewer with a strong voice will contact them and overcome all that noise.
Because communication involves the participation of all parties involved, each party has a role in ensuring that what is conveyed has an opportunity to be received and understood. You are doing your part. If you can find a way to mention this information, the location can have an opportunity to do its part in reducing noises that could interfere with business communication. For these reasons, I believe that you should mention this wherever it fits into the survey and that the official answer is or will soon become yes. If there is no space whatsoever in the survey or report form, you still have options. Depending upon the reporting platform, you might use the Sassie "contact us" feature or explain this to the scheduler. Often, schedulers can forward information to the editors.
