It is permissible for anyone to wear a dual ear headset while driving.

While driving in Illinois, it is illegal to use a headset, which is defined as any device, other than a hearing aid, that allows you to hear or receive electronic communications. The use of a single-sided headset or earpiece with a wireless/cellphone device is permitted. Motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, and moped operators may use intercom helmets that permit a driver and/or passengers to speak to one another.
