Loud music, concerts, and power equipment as a youngster have led me to point where I have Noise-Induced Hearing Toss and tinnitus. In trying to research cab noise level, I have not found much of anything out there. Only found one older article that basically put cab noise above 100 decibels. At that level, Noise-Induced Hearing Loss will actually get worse. Does anybody know if more recently the truck manufacturers have been addressing NIHL and trying to make the cabs quieter? Seems to me that long-time drivers would also be suffering from NIHL or at least tinnitus if they have been in noisy cabs over many years. Thank you to anybody who responds.
