Stuttering gets worse when there is background noise I’m 25 years old, I’ve been stuttering since I was 8 and have become better over some periods of time. Some times when I’m stressed or anxious it gets worse or if I’m talking to more than one people at a time. However, I’ve realized my stutter becomes worse when there is a lot of background noise in places like a party,night club or even places with heavy industrial equipment. I was wondering if more people experience something like this? Im an engineer and for my new job I have to spend more time on the factory floor and I’ve been struggling to communicate with people there because of the noise but when I talk to them in the office my stutter is gone for the most part.
