By the ranting of some people of what you can or can't hear, I wonder if someone who happens to be deaf would be able to get their motorcycle license.

Along with it being illegal in most states.
Not trying to be a "doucher" as you call it, just trying to save alot of forum members, that may not realise the risks, a ton of potential pain from not being able to hear what's happening around them. Once you get rearended or t-boned by a cage,whether it's your fault or not, I'll be bleeding a helluva lot less than you will and I'll still be able to hear just fine.

man its not like I wear them in town. granted I'm just speaking for myself. I only wear mine when I ride by myself (which is 95% of the time). and as soon as I hit the edge of town I either pause it or remove them, depending on if I'm just passing through or gonna cruise around town. And like someone else said, can you even hear at 70mph? I know theres no way in hell I could hear anything behind me at cruising speed. I check my mirror alot. I have no idea on the legality of it, and I'm not really worried about it. If i get stopped, i get stopped. to each his own I guess.
