We also have an "oral" exam that consists of 10 questions done orally with the teacher, which I thought was reallyyyy weird but I have to do it and it's one on one so I guess it wo't be too bad
Actually, you can have that oral exam requirement amended. Any exam that is given to hearing students orally, the professor is obligated to provide to a deaf student in a written format. That should be written into your plan with disability services.

Yes, the electronic notetaker would help in this situation. But disability needs to be aware of the uncoperative nature of this particular professor just in case you have problems in the future. I would recommend letting them know, even if the electronic notetaking does help.
