Refer also to Part B section 5. Musculoskeletal conditions and section 10. Vision and eye disorders.

This section deals with fitness to drive in relation to hearing loss and deafness. Hearing loss and deafness may be well compensated for when driving by relying on vision, attention and physical mobility to adequately scan the driving environment. Hearing loss and deafness may coexist with other impairments that could compromise these adaptive capabilities, such as visual, mobility and cognitive impairment, particularly in older people. For guidance in assessing multiple medical conditions refer to Part A  2.2.8. Multiple medical conditions.
