Being one the is fully deaf on left side, and marginal on the right, not hearing orders and making a mistake is my biggest fear.
I've been pulled over while carrying. While I respect others opinions, I'm not in the camp to not mention I am carrying.
When I've been pulled over I don't get my paperwork in order right outta the gate as to me it looks like I'm shuffling around and hiding something.
My window is down and BOTH my hands are hanging out the window while I tell the officer I do have a weapon and I am hard of hearing.
After the initial contact, I tell them where paperwork is and there is or is not also a weapon within that place, I usually carry another in console with ins an reg, and that driver license is in same location as carry weapon.
Not once have I had a problem, or even a nervous officer.
I would not have a problem having the officer secure my carry themselves if it kept their level of tension down.
Having a step father as a retired SPD, I do have a bit of insight what they feel and think on what we would think of a normal stop.
In my opinion, a little effort and time on my part, keeps both parties not only safe, but in a much more relaxed and casual encounter.

I couldn't comment logically on the this trainwreck as my opinion both parties are in the wrong. But then again, I can't see through the officers eyes, nor read the real intentions of the driver, and neither can anyone else.

One suggestion, if I were you, I would have a laminated card to hand over as well, with your license, that says "I am nearly deaf. I will comply fully with your lawful orders." Or similar. I would have that card and license available with your hands outside the window when the officer walks up.
