Do you need them ? - sounds like a personal question actually ...

Do you personally feel you need hearing devices in order to be a good driver ?
if you think yes, check yes ... if you feel that you are a safe, and aware driver regardless of if you wear hearing devices then select no.

If you select yes ... you will ALWAYS have to wear a HA while driving ... or you'll be in violation (then what do you do if your HA is in for repair and you aren't given a loaner etc)

also there's nothing on there that says you have to state that you're Deaf ...so that's information you can volunteer or not, depending on how you feel.

I personally would say "no" because I don't think wearing my HA actually increases my safetly ... especially since hearing people crank their stereos so loud THEY can't hear the sirens either ...

JMHO
