Can't agree with you completely. Deaf people are used to being deaf. Other senses become more sensitive when you loose one. If you aren't (used to being) deaf, then loosing hearing while cycling is not very cautious.
I like listening to music when cycling, but do so in places where there is no car traffic and no birds singing. Even then I don't think it is very smart and try not to do it (loud punk rock or forrest sounds does it for me).
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
