Diplacusis…

Last weekend I had a earache. It went away in a day but has left me with the weirdest symptoms. Apart from the constant ringing, my left ear is hearing everything a millisecond or two later than my right. Not only that but the left side has a slightly different pitch. It sounds just like a guitar that is slightly out of tune but it’s everything. As a musician, this is the worst. This is why my guitar sounded so bad this week. I can’t concentrate on playing correctly as I cannot stand being out of tune, even a cent or two. I can hear the slightest tweak in tuning and always have been able too. Not quite ‘Perfect pitch’ but close.

I had an appointment with the GP today to get my numb leg checked out and one on Monday for the ear. I can’t go until Monday, it’s driving me absolutely crazy. Playing guitar is no fun at all. Listening to people talk too… it’s like everyone has an Imp on their shoulder repeating everything they say in a squeaky voice. I’ve never even heard of this condition…

I met two of my Princeling’s friends last night. Nice pair, very polite. I’m happy for him.

Time to crack on. Finish this later.
