The Importance of Conducting Localization Tests for Granting Driving Licenses to Individuals with Hearing Impairment: A Simulated Traffic Environment Study.

The current study aimed to examine participants' localization ability in a simulated road traffic environment using subjective and objective methods. The study involved 40 participants between 40 and 60 years old, divided into a control group with normal hearing sensitivity, and a clinical group with varying degrees of hearing loss. The clinical group was further divided into three subgroups, each consisting of ten participants.
