There's nothing better to have in your ear when the paramedics are using the jaws of life...

...than the When I'm 64 mp3.

There's nothing better to have in your ear when the paramedics are using the jaws of life to cut away the bent metal that has wrapped around your body after the accident.

I think it would be very informative to do some research to determine whether deaf people have a greater incidence of traffic accidents than hearing folks.  Personally, I think that driving is almost exclusively a visual task.  The only relevant auditory input I can think of is emergency vehicle sirens.  Those are pretty rare.

I guess listening to music is a distraction while you drive.  So is holding a conversation with a passenger.  Or conversing over a cell phone. Or eating, drinking, scratching, smoking or a thousand other things.  I guess I don't understand why listening to music over headphones is supposed to be more distracting that listening to music over speakers.

Probably conditioning.
