Similar to others my wife can take it or leave it - but is happy to come along if we are going somewhere (preferably somewhere with shops). She also much prefers having something to do, such as following the route on the map and reading out the radio frequencies.
In the aircraft I fly the PTT isolates the pilot's mic so that it is the only one ATC can hear. The other option is to turn off the hot mic and enjoy the peace and quiet!
