Could You Still Pass the Driver's License Test?
10. Is it okay to wear noise-canceling headphones while driving?
Correct Incorrect Wearing headsets or earplugs in both ears while driving or cycling is generally not allowed, unless they are designed for hearing aid or noise reduction. Laws vary by state, but using noise-canceling headphones in both ears can hinder your ability to hear sirens or horns, increasing the risk of distraction and sensory deprivation.
