Driving Licence for the Deaf

With reference to the Singapore Medical Association's Medical Guidelines on Fitness to Drive 2nd Edition 2011, an aided hearing threshold of at least 50db averaged over 250 and 500Hz, is acceptable to drive for the Group 1 Licence. As for the Group 2 Licence, bus and taxi drivers need to be able to hear ordinary conversational speech at about 1.5 metres distance. The aided hearing threshold remains the same as that of Group 1 Licence.

Based on the criteria of hearing level of at least above 10dB for driving safety, persons with mild hearing loss are eligible to drive unaided with hearing aids or assistive devices.

Persons with severe and moderate hearing loss are eligible to drive if their aided hearing levels (with hearing aids or other devices) are certified to be above 50dB.
