So, you might be out of luck for this presentation, unless your instructor is merciful to your last minute plea. Be prepared for your instructor not to buy your story, though. If you haven't mentioned a hearing problem until now, and you don't wear hearing aids, then you could be perceived as just trying to cover up your stage fright or lack of preparation.
Live and learn, eh?

Exactly. If you need accommodations they need to be requested before the start of the quarter or sememster. The disabilities office will provide you with documentation to geive to your professors. And this must be done with the start of each new semester or quarter.
Without self disclosure to the disability office prior to the start of classes each term, I'm afraid that you are not eligible to have any revisions in the curriculum made, nor given an alternate assignment to complete.
