I think that even in a state that is lenient enough to let you ride with no helmet, (so that these will fit on your head), I still think a cop would nab you for wearing these because they would be considered too restrictive and block traffic/emergency sounds.

Good question! Never thought about it and I don't know any deaf people.
From Google.......
Yes, deaf people can drive and obtain driver's licenses in all 50 U.S. states and many other countries, as driving is a primarily visual task. Studies show deaf drivers often have, or exceed, the same safety standards as hearing drivers by developing heightened visual awareness
Having lived in Commiefornication for the last 45 years, I've only known it to be illegal to drive/ride with earbuds or headsets. Made sense and thought it was nationwide. Guess not.......
Also from Google....
Most U.S. states do not have specific laws banning headphones while driving, but many restrict them to one ear only. States with strict bans on both ears include California, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Virginia, and Washington. Laws often permit one earbud for phone calls or navigation, but total blockage of sound is illegal in many areas.
