Why do deaf people speak so loudly (or quietly)?

Firstly, I agree that people with hearing loss often do speak loudly. Interestingly, if they are able to wear a hearing aid, they do then speak much more quietly, and you can often tell whether or not they are wearing their hearing aids just from their own speech. So my conclusion is that hearing-impaired people speaking loudly are instinctively doing what they imagine other people need in order to understand them. Similarly for speaking quietly.

It is also worth mentioning that people do tend to mirror each other's behaviour to some extent. So speaking in a loud voice can - again instinctively rather than intentionally - be a tactic to get other people to speak more loudly and hence be easier to understand.

Now assuming that the question was actually an expression of exasperation rather than a search for information, I do sympathise to some extent. Living with a hearing-impaired person can be taxing. For ways of handling the situation, see the page on helping hearing-impaired people moderate their voice.
