It's well known people with perfect pitch always lose it in middle age, the reason is unknown, but it's always extremely upsetting when it happens, and since perfect pitch isn't very useful to begin with, it's actually a curse.

Does that imply that people with age actually interpret pitches differently? The pitch reading would be correct "locally", within your brain.
