Dumb. Very Dumb.
I listen to my MP3 player, in traffic. It's not shutting off your hearing, merely reducing its range.
I can hear cars coming up on me, I can hear drivers talking to me, I can hear the hiss when my tire goes flat.
If you'd ever tried it you'd know that. Why do people who have never tried something always make assumptions and propagate old wives tales?
