Can You Get a Driver's License with Deafness in One Ear?

[LaAthena]

You can apply for a driver's license if deafness in one ear meets the conditions, but complete hearing loss disqualifies you. It's advisable to undergo a medical examination first to check eligibility. The physical requirements for obtaining a driver's license are as follows: 1. Hearing. Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at 50 cm from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairments who can meet this requirement using hearing aids may apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Height. Applicants for medium-sized passenger vehicles must be at least 150 cm tall. 3. Vision. For those with monocular vision impairment, the better eye must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with a horizontal field of vision of at least 150 degrees to apply for small cars. 4. Color Vision. No red-green color blindness. 5. Upper Limbs. Both thumbs must be intact. 6. Lower Limbs. Both lower limbs must be intact with normal motor function. 7. Trunk and Neck. No motor dysfunction in the trunk or neck. 8. Right Lower Limb or Both Lower Limbs. Missing or loss of motor function in the right lower limb or both lower limbs, but able to sit upright independently.
