Do people who stutter usually have a harder time understanding what others say? I have no idea if this is related to my stutter at all, but this is something I've always really struggled with. Even if I can hear what people are saying, I often times struggle a lot with fully understanding and registering what they say. It's like some of the words are getting lost in my mind as I hear them. Is that something that yall struggle with too, or is this unrelated to stuttering?
