My parents won’t let me drive because they think it’s unsafe

I’m deaf, and my parents have never allowed me to drive because they believe my hearing loss makes driving unsafe. I’m honestly really envious of people who are able to drive independently.

That said, my father is very supportive. Sometimes he takes me to an empty area and lets me drive for a while. I really appreciate that, even though I still wish I could drive more regularly.

I know deaf and hard-of-hearing people can drive safely, but my parents are still worried about it. Has anyone else had a similar experience with their family? How did you handle it?
