will,

Have to tried to maintain your social relationships over the phone? That way, you only have one person talking and a focus of voices. I find that if I need to be in a room with a group of people, I need to be towards a corner where nobody can be behind me talking. If all the voices are in front of me, I can tolerate it much better.

Or use FaceBook chat or such.

It is not uncommon for me to go a week or longer with only talking to my wife.
