One, it's different to be accustomed to functioning with out the sense all the time, then to be accustomed to having it then temporarily depriving yourself of it at a time when your attention is greatly needed.
Similarly, a blind person can likely walk around the street far better than a sighted person with their eyes closed.
Two, some states in the US do have some special requirement for deaf drivers, usually dependent on how well the person pays attention during the driving test. The state can require special mirror arrangements, and in some cases can just deny the license.
Don't wear headphones while driving please.
