Rubbish. One of my old workmates was profoundly deaf, and she still holds a licence. She is more observant to compensate for not being able to hear.
I've been in a car with her, and never felt unsafe.
They do the same tests as everyone else to get their licences, and have no extra restrictions due to deafness.
My mum has also been going deaf for years, still drives, and the only two (very minor parking) accidents she's ever had were immediately following the deaths of her parents, because she was upset and not thinking straight.
