My hearing aids shut down when exposed to strong wind so when in the Mog I tend to take them out, so is it much different from wearing headphones as either way the sound received is sub normal.

Yes, in my view they are very attentive safe drivers as their awareness levels are higher I believe as part of the compensation of losing one sense.

Both my Father and my Uncle became profoundly deaf in their latter years. They drove safely-ish, but couldn't hear emergency vehicles coming up behind them, and perhaps more dangerously couldn't hear if their indicators were on. With advancing years, diminishing eyesight ruled-out night driving, and restricted neck movement made emerging from junctions very hazardous. I have noticed the same thing in the past year or so, the trick will be to know when to stop driving. Hopefully not just yet.

I have never seen bikers get into trouble for them under helmets.
I have used headphone(s) in the S2 in the past, mostly using 1 bluetooth earpiece with noise cancelling to hear the waze/satnav and have a clear other ear for surrounding stuff. I am always very aware that hearing bluelight sirens is paramount.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
