I turn my head a lot to have the sound waves going directly into it my ear hole.

I am said to be somewhere on the spectrum, though it was never fully recognized.. Long story short , the elementary school psychologist worked with me on it, and was convinced of it, but they couldn't convince my parents that such a thing exists.
Yes I do in fact , have trouble making out words sometimes. It struck me that this could be related to my mental state, when I heard a Temple Grandin lecture a while ago, in which she was talking to a British audience. She pointed out that the questions were a little hard for her to understand due to the accent.
I always had trouble hearing what is being said in loud situations. As a musician, I used to frequent bars to play guitar in, and for the life of me, I can barely understand much of anything when people tried to talk to me at the bar, or just around the room. For a long time, I thought it was the music making me deaf, since we tend to crank it loud. This same problem can happen at work, and I recently explained to a coworker (at the factory) that I'm a little bit hearing impaired, because I didn't want to bring other theories into it.
Even at work people talk to each other from 10 feet away, amid the massive buzzing of the presses. I can't really partake too often because I just can't hear what they are saying
As for masks, I became inured to it eventually. Luckily I grew out of asthma , unlike my two brothers, who unluckily still have to deal with occasional breathing problems. Possibly I ignore some of those issues though... I tend to breath through my mouth a lot, my nose is never really that clear. But I don't really know
