Looking once more through your posts here, I find that you and I appear to share much in common! 

1.  I would say I had a fear of heights, though I haven't experimented with that lately.  I remember being terrified, throughout my life, of any of those carnival rides like the swinging ship, the spinning chairs, the tower drop, and similar.  I have even felt wary climbing over a regular chain-link fence, though I feel confident I could do so now without much discomfort, and I am happy to report that I have, once, jumped off a rock ledge into a river many, many feet below me. 
    
2. I frequently stutter when I talk, not profoundly, but yes, often repeating words (or adding much superfluous context, ironically).  Likewise, I, too, sometimes completely lose my train of thought.  And, partly for that reason, I, like you, have a great love of writing.
   
3. I have a whole panel of allergies; my grandmother is allergic only to melon, and my father to dander, while I am allergic to dust, most tree nuts, raw eggs, mango, and latex rubber, and penicillin.  When I was younger, not much younger, I also had moderate asthma.  I also get occasional minor rashes and bumps of no certain origin.
   
4. Others have evidenced to me my youthful appearance, too, which could be linked to my adrenal dysfunction.  However, I have found that I am perhaps more likely than others to be approached and trusted by strangers in public, rather than be assumed to be powerless.  Maybe, for me, it's just that the former situation has come up more often than the latter.
   
5. I share my hyperacuity with both flofrog and IndigoSalvia, an intriguing seeming-dissimilarity with your narrowed ear canal.  However, I definitely experience static in the ears, usually when listening to music in the car, or at karaoke.  I usually have brushed this one off as a solely physical artifact.  
   
6. I also have a limitation in my manual dexterity, limited to the pinky fingers.  I was born early, so this, too, I assume to be a physical by-result.  The left pinky can almost fully extend.  The right pinky is hopelessly crooked.  I have never been able to articulately play the saxophone as a result.
