Why does the dmv restrict vision loss but not hearing loss?

If a person wears glasses or contacts at all for seeing far the DMV restricts their license with a “corr. lenses” mark even if their prescription is very minor.
So why then do they not restrict those who wear hearing aids? In fact profoundly deaf people who don’t hear anything at all recieve no restrictions on their licenses either.
I’m wondering why.
P.S: I have nothing against Deaf people both my parents are Deaf. I’m just curious.

Can I still enlist in the Air Force or Army with slight hearing loss?

I was born with a slight hearing loss but otherwise haven’t noticed it much. I was wondering if that disqualifies you? I’m not sure exactly how much loss there is but the most effect it’s had is I might not understand what someone says if I’m not paying attention to them, and when I was younger my parents were worried and decided to get me hearing aids but I never wore them at all.
