Speech and Hearing Issues

I thought this was caused by stress, but I've been researching this and can't find any correlation between what's going on with me and stress, so now I'm worried about strokes and my brain.  The best explanation I've found so far is some kind of aphasia.

In the past year my hearing comprehension has gotten bad.  Particularly if there is a lot of white noise.  I'm having to ask people to look at me when they talk to me so I can see their mouth move.  If it is quiet I can hear a whisper.  I know I have some damage to one eardrum, but no real damage to the other so I don't know why it's affecting all my hearing.  I also seem to be having a harder time just listening to people.  I'd prefer it to be written down.

I had surgery in Dec to remove some ovarian cysts.  I got really stressed and depressed and upset at my husband because I was getting no support at home.  I figured this caused a lot of stress and was causing my speech issues.  Since then I've had bouts where I stutter, have a hard time forming sentences and really have to slow down, once I caught myself saying words that I had no control over, like a dream.  I was awake and at my desk and heard the tail end of myself saying something like "...books".  The past couple days I've had a hard time coming up with some basic words, particularly when I'm tired.

So far this hasn't affected my job (that they can notice).  I don't deal with clients much and work with numbers a lot.

I do get migraines.  My Dad is currently trying to figure out what the lesions on his brain are.  He's had non-epileptic seizures his whole life.  His father died from brain cancer.  So obviously I'm worried about my noggin.

I'm 38.  I don't smoke cigarettes but do smoke pot (for pain, it's a lot better than pills), take a vicodin only if there is a lot of pain (and usually only half of one), occasional advil or excedrin for migraine, Wellbutrin (for pain induced depression, it's a small dose).  I eat fairly healthy, I don't exercise enough.  I am extremely stressed (daughter is on the autism spectrum, husband won't work or clean the house but takes care of the kid, no money, I work full time).

There was no immediate change I noticed, so I doubt it's a stroke, but I'm wondering if the two are related.  Even if my hearing was just regular hearing loss, what's up with the speech issues?  Is this symptomatic of stress or do I need to get my head looked at?

I honestly can't deal with another medical crisis.  I'm still dealing with ovarian cysts and will probably have to have surgery again in Dec for them, maybe even lose an ovary :(

Anybody?  I heard from another person to first see the audiologist and then the speech and language pathologist, but I'd love to know from the neurology standpoint what to do.
