Well, this certainly explain A LOT

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. Live long enough and many things can change in the aging quantum computer we call our brain.

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

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.
