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

Headphones don't just stop you hearing. They also inject extreme distraction. That makes them wonderful on the subway but terrible behind the wheel. Deaf people aren't listening to music or podcasts or anything at all except maybe their own thoughts.
