This affects me—probably from wearing loud headphones too long and too loud. Absolute pitch, except I now interpret everything one semitone sharp. (Opposite direction of your acquaintance, assuming neither of us got things backwards).

Quite likely I got it backwards. I couldn't remember the direction for sure and pretty much guessed.

It seems more cognitive than due to physical effects in the ear. Adam Neely had a good YouTube video on it https://youtu.be/QRaACa1Mrd4
