there is a new scope that uses a battery and the volume can be turned up surely this can be adapted to connect to the hearing aids. Don't let anyone take your dream away from you go for it!!!

My son's doctor uses hearing aids. He has a special stethescope to use. The problem is that he takes out his hearing aids to use it and then forgets to put them back in. Not being able to communicate with him is a big problem.

I work with a couple of cardiologist who have stethescopes with a microphone on the end. Its really quite effective in boosting the sound.

There are many things that are open to doctors, such as research or consultancy, that don't need good hearing. Anyway, a stethoscope is so old-fashioned these days, there are scanners and MRIs and all sorts of sophisticated stuff for diagnosing.
If you are passionate about medicine, don't let a little thing like a hearing aid get in the way. go ahead - the world needs you!

Get a good Assistant. Depending on what type of Doctor you want to be, knowledge and your hands will be more important.
In the meantime, you should speak to your academic advisor and other doctors.
You'll be fine.

There are special stethoscopes that you can buy:

I did my residency with a guy who had bileteral hearing aids. He had a special device in the operating room so that he could be alerted with a pager on his belt when the monitors alarmed.
There's always a way.
Good luck!
