What truck do you drive? The newer ones are significantly quieter than the old ones but they can still be loud compared to an average car. I wish electric trucks were common place these days! EDIT: I forgot you mentioned your truck in an earlier post! 2018 Freightliner is a good truck, still...

I did hear that lower frequencies are harder to block, but if the truck is say, 85 decibels (usually between 70-75 decibels), then you don't think the earplugs will block at least 10 decibels?

Wow, thanks for the information. I suffer from a buzzing/vibration tinnitus that's easily irritated by low frequencies, like surround sound speakers. Higher frequencies I can stand a LOT better.

How are you managing your tinnitus with driving a truck and does it have any effect on your tinnitus? Are you driving a newer stock truck or aftermarket exhaust older model? I have my CDL and I used to drive a truck locally which didn’t seem to affect my tinnitus too much. That’s when my ears...
