Does anybody else have this problem?

Those are three separate issues:
1. There is sensitivity to loud mostly high pitched sounds because the small muscle in our inner ear is not working properly to dampen them.
2. Holding a conversation with background noise requires talking louder, which means putting more efforts to articulate each word. So, it is not a surprise that this extra effort makes you weaker.
3. Any activity that you do requires respiratory efforts. (even if you are not aware of it), talking requires respiratory efforts. So, doing both=more respiratory efforts which can exceed your limits.
