Final answer:
Drivers with hearing loss can compensate by wearing hearing aids and relying more on their sense of vision. Hearing aids help amplify sound vibrations and cochlear implants can stimulate the nerves directly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Drivers with hearing loss can compensate by wearing hearing aids and relying more on their sense of vision.
Hearing losses can occur because of problems in the middle or inner ear.
Conductive losses in the middle ear can be partially overcome by sending sound vibrations to the cochlea through the skull.
Hearing aids for this purpose usually press against the bone behind the ear, rather than simply amplifying the sound sent into the ear canal as many hearing aids do.
Damage to the nerves in the cochlea is not repairable, but amplification can partially compensate. Cochlear implants that stimulate the nerves directly are now available and widely accepted.
