Tone deafness

Tone deafness was a hearing impairment regarding the lack of relative pitch – the ability to discriminate between musical notes. Being tone deaf was having difficulty in or being unable to correctly hear relative differences between notes; however, in common usage, it referred to a person's inability to reproduce them accurately with their voice. It was also known as "tin ear".
