I didn’t realize they were either. Immediately, what comes to mind is the train whistle or the fire engines’ siren, or the blowout of your rear tire.

I would like to know if he was hearing impaired or completely deaf. I think it makes a big difference.

You don’t need ears to know if your rear tires blows out. LOL

Deaf people are generally excellent drivers. They use their eyes to scan for danger. My wife is deaf and has been driving for 40 years.

She can easily see the flashing lights of an approaching fire engine, and knows better than to cross train tracks when the rails are down and the lights are flashing - unlike some hearing people, eh?
