Edit: Thanks everyone. I’ve heard your comments loud and clear. I will not wear headphones while driving.

Just my wife and I. We are having breakfast and I showed her your comment, nearly spit her food out. Good times all round.

Technology can be made to assist every disability just about. Have you seen or heard of anyone using this technology in the wild? What was that? Did you say no? Right, thats the same as us. Because apart from edge cases, pilot schemes or the-guy-on-the-internet-trying-to-win-internet-points, it isn't being used.

Your wife spit her food at out the idea of someone providing the requested example of accessibility tools used by deaf or hard of hearing? Im hearing impaired by the way. Maybe you should show your totally real wife this study suggesting low penetration due to stigma attached using them. Maybe you should ask your wife how she’s feels about people using her disability as an excuse for being irresponsible while driving; though Im super worried she’ll just laugh at me again. Most of my partners haven’t seen or heard of most of the devices I use for hearing loss until they dated me. Guess that means they don’t exist by your definition.

Please keep going. Tell me what sort of accessories you use whilst driving your car

Im good, it’s clear you’re not actually interested. Id hate for your real wife and all your deaf friends to laugh at me again for providing examples of said tools while you unironically claim Im “just trying to win an internet argument”.

Dude, it wasn't even the thing about the deaf that we were laughing at. He was just the fact that people on the internet always start their next sentence with "wrong", and then continue with a really silly comment and that just made us laugh. It was just so laughable can't explain it. Sorry.
