Starting to Lose perfect pitch

I’ve read about that, and got the first signs a couple months ago: sometimes getting half tones wrong especially in the upper register.
I do not know how fast it will be before I totally lose it. It’s no big deal right now but for sure it will only get worse. Which is really frightening.
Anyone else here had to deal with that?

    :lol:

  • I never had it to lose. Is your relative pitch still stable? Relative seems more important for practical music-making.

    It seems it is for now. The idea of losing that too is devastating.

  • I still have my near-perfect pitch, but hopefully I don't lose it. That would suck. However, even more important is to protect your hearing so you don't lose that. That would be the worst to lose.

    Is it possible to appear to have perfect pitch but instead of perfect pitch, it is very good aural memory using relative pitch to deduce which tone you are hearing?

  • Just a thought: Do you ever work out with a drone? I have found singing or playing with a tanpura drone to be very rewarding. If I sing with the same drone pitch every day, I can usually reproduce the tonic or pretty close to it even without the drone. It's the tonal equivalent of metronome practice.

  • Well, I'll try all I can try to make it progress slower, but I'm afraid it's irreversible and will only get worse with time :-(

    Do you know what could be causing this mate?

    age, seems to happen after 50 for the unlucky, sometimes much later if you're a lucky one.

    You need to submit a bug report with your developer. Don't expect a reply or an update but still... if enough people with "perfect pitch" complain future generations my benefit. I think that's how we got the ability to wiggle our ears. Multiple requests for a feature.

    Those that can are the "beta" generation. I think it's a "meh" feature personally.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you really mean perfect pitch?
    If so, then you are losing something that only few people actually have at all.

    Or do you mean you do not hear certain frequencies any more?

    Yes, perfect pitch: I can name any note. Well I could. Now sometimes I’m wrong by half a tone especially with hi pitched notes.
    As a matter of fact I now also can’t I hear anything above 15khz (it could be much worse)

  • @mambonassau I'mso sorry about that. That is horrible.
    I’ll try to keep a positive attitude like you.

  • I’m curious too… do you man you “hear” a note 1/2 step away from it’s actual pitch?

    I knew a piano player that could not play a piano that was tuned significantly away from A=440 without getting ill.
    That I thought was a heighten form of this skill to hear with tuning fork accuracy.

    Jacob Collier created a vocal work that modulates from E to G half sharp (between G and Ab in pitch). He seems to hear the pitches between notes with accuracy.

    It's hard to describe :-(
    All the notes I could hear were crystal clear in my head: it's at teh same time something I hear and feel and sorta see. I could literally see the note on a music sheet, I could name them, recognize chords etc... Now, sometimes the note played is a C#, I hear a C# but I feel a D : that is a very weird feeling of something wrong, not "matching".
    The worse is when I write music I have in my head: I think of an F but when I play it on the keyboard it sounds like an E, and it is still an F in my head.
    It's like getting crazy.

    Are you in an environment where the background drone noises that you are most exposed to may have changed? New car or refrigerator maybe?
