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

Given your experience, I appreciete your perspective. For me I don't believe it's a double standard, for the reasons mentioned - deaf individuals have no choice in the matter while hearing people do.

It's a similar argument to driving with a patch over one eye because you lost your eye, versus driving with a patch over one eye because you enjoy cosplaying as a pirate.

We should all make sensible choices.

And by the way, thank you for participating in this discussion with civility.
