oh gods no, you know what came with my perfect pitch? a little man screaming EEEE constantly at E12 in my ear, so i can tune off of his E. that bastard.
Nope. I don’t care what inconvenience you think that is, having complete command over my favourite field of art means that would be worth it, you privileged git.
This comes across the same way as Adam Neely’s “you don’t want perfect pitch bro, because you’ll eventually lose it”. Yeah, instead of having my career be a software tester, I could have had the world of music as a career , oh no.

Wait, your tinnitus stays still? Mine is basically a symphony made for people whose favorite music is hearing tests.

yeah it’s weird. i haven’t had it looked at ever. i had a cold, played a gig where i had to set up directly in front of the drums instead of a few feet off to the side. got a migraine. next day, there was a tiny squeal up there. day after a little louder. it varies in intensity but it’s always there. same pitch. i measured it once and it’s an E12. I can tell when a recording is sped up or slowed down and the pitch hasn’t been corrected - the pitch just sounds wrong, because of that damn E12 i’ve got that no one else does.
because of that, i’ve got keys i enjoy playing in and keys i hate, just because the key resonates in my sinuses (in a different tone) well

Really? Neat. At least compared to the monotone I’ve got (not who you replied to, mind). I mean sometimes it harmonizes with the sound of electricity in wires or air moving through heat vents, and starts warbling, which is incredibly obnoxious, but that’s about it.
