In principle I think it's a good idea, but in practice I wonder whether anyone would treat you any differently from how they would a non-hearing impaired person? While I think most of the people on this forum who drive (and even those who don't) would see it and think 'hey - that's a bloody good idea!', the rest of the people on the road are out and out arseholes, so it's unlikely to make a difference.
In the end it doesn't matter if you're deaf - they should be keeping an eye out for you anyway - but they don't.
In fact, you could be wearing a full on Tron suit with 'DEAF' in neon lights on a sign covering your entire back and they wouldn't see you.
