That's not a dumb question at all. There have been deaf racers. There is a British kart racer named Caleb McDuff who has won races driving for Zip Kart, the same team Lewis Hamilton used to drive for, despite having hearing complications. Additionally, the late stuntwoman Kitty O'Neal drove in the Mint 400 off road race and set land speed records despite being born deaf.

However, these examples are admittedly rare, but what confuses me about adding hearing aids to Forza Horizon 5 is that there has been no demand for this and things like pronouns among the actual fanbase, and the Twitter SJWs this is clearly supposed to appeal to would never play the game anyway- or even like cars at all.
