Something you get used to. When we operate the vehicle, we also wear sound canceling hearing protection that doubles as a helmet and comms. Like a pilots helmet without a visor. It's called a CVC.
I would imagine backing up in that thing would be nerve-wracking, as you have no view behind you and are completely reliant on the Commander and/or Loader to tell you what to do, or watching some guy standing in front of you giving you hand signals and hope you don't get them mixed up.

I heard that the Abrams driver is one of the most comfortable places to be. And it happened where some actually fell asleep while driving? So they carry a stick to poke the driver awake.
Everything up until the stick part is true. For the most part. That would require the turret crew to turn the turret completely to face the back of the tank to then open the swing gate and poke the driver. Just seems impractical. Never happened to me. I can't speak for others.
