What does the law say about using headphones while driving a car?

The article discusses the regulations regarding the use of headphones while driving in Argentina, based on guidelines from the National Agency for Road Safety (ANSV). It explains that while partial hearing loss does not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a driver’s license, those with severe hearing impairment must undergo specific evaluations. The law allows individuals with hearing impairments to drive if they meet certain criteria, such as having appropriate vehicle equipment like external mirrors. However, the article also notes that using headphones or listening to music at high volume is discouraged due to safety concerns and is explicitly prohibited by Law 24.449, which considers good hearing essential for road safety. The law prohibits the use of headphones and other communication devices during driving.
