It’s illegal in most states to drive with headphones on because you can’t hear horns, sirens, etc. Why is it legal for a deaf person to get a license? I know, I know! Hearing aids. But, he apparently wasn’t wearing one.

Deaf people lobbied for it and claim they are just as safe as people who can hear. Some use devices that alert them to sirens. The bottom line is being deaf isn’t an excuse for not stopping.
