Perfect Pitch: Why Do People Lose It?
 

Well, this certainly explain A LOT :D

The "how and why" people who live long enough lose their Perfect Pitch.

So what is the explanation?

What exactly is memory? Acoustic signals that are translated from the physio-mechanical realm of the ear to the electrical impulses the brain then uses to recall the memory of what a sound of that pitch/frequency really should sound like should not have drift value? Well... I guess they do after all. :D Live long enough and many things can change in the aging quantum computer we call our brain. :smoking:

Of course statistically, only 1 in 10,000 people actually has "Perfect Pitch" hearing to begin with. :yes:

For the rest of the 9,999 the "echoic memory" lasts no longer that 4 seconds at most, so I am always amused at the wonderful "difference in sound" write ups from audiophiles. :thumbsup:
