Yep... same here. Wife and I look forward to a road trip as a chance to talk ...other times we travel in "companionable silence". Wife has tinnitus (her father had a noisy engineering 'shop' in the back yard for years when she was young.. I once mistakenly but in good faith bought her a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones ...worse thing ever for her tinnitusYes but we talk

I enjoy listening for subtle engine note changes on cruise control in undulating terrain... how nerdy is that?!!
