Yep I have the exact same thing. Loud, unorganized environments make it much harder for me to speak, too. One-on-one conversations work quite well but once I'm in the city, for example, I can't speak ...

i use samsung galaxy buds, they block outer sounds hardly, they got high volume plus this ambient sound option which allow you to mix the outer environment sound with your call or music when you touch...

I've always had it, so I never noticed it. I know my mum noticed it when I was young, but I'm not sure how young. Teachers never commented as far as I'm aware and I didn't notice any bullying about th...
