Working in ICU environment, nurses learn a lot. That sometimes even new doctors will look stupid because they can't decide and need to ask from the nurse. Our House Officer/Junior Doctor right now don't ask from us, maybe she is pretending that she is good and we know she's not. So what does she do? If we need something she will disappear and sometimes she will answer us on loud voice (trying to scare us :) But maybe that's only her defence mechanism because she doesn't know a lot. Thankfully she is only with us for only 6 months and she is leaving next month. Anyway, this young doctor is deaf and wears hearing aid which is a bit odd when she uses stethoscope to assess patient :)
Note: I'm not that good but I'm not a doctor, I'm only a nurse.

I am most certainly not being insensitive to the hearing impaired, but how does she hear if she is deaf? On the other hand, hearing aids do amplify the sound, so maybe she actually can hear it better than everyone else. I can understand your frustration, with a new doctor, but everyone is new at something when they first start. The learn as they do, even doctors and nurses. She is probably shouting because she is deaf, not to intimidate you.
