I speak quietly and a lot of people can’t hear me. Even when I try to speak loudly, I’m lucky if I can get up to conversation volume.

I also have a lot of sound sensitivity and I was wondering if they could be related. Like I wanted to avoid hearing my own voice. Does that make sense to anyone?

If my sense of hearing is more or less screwed depending on which phase of fluctuations I'm dealing with, yes.

Sometimes it's too quiet because it's loud, sometimes it's too loud because everything is too loud and already dealing with sheer quantity of irrelevant crap.

My choir instructors always tried to get me to sing louder. I can sing louder when I’m alone but softer when I’m in a group.

Like you, I am sensitive to sound.

I’m highly sensitive to everything.

I am sound sensitive and also speak quietly, any time I speak loudly it's without meaning to really or knowing and others have said something as it can normally be in a place i am not supposed to be loud. I can't really yell stuff if needed much either so I wonder if is linked? or if people ask me to and I will not do so.

Same, if they want me to yell so they can hear over something, I try but I can't.
