I think my ears have always sounded different from each other, I remember noticing it years ago as a kid when I was talking on the phone. My hearing gets checked every so often and they say its 'above average' but what is average? And it's totally normal to have a mix sound different if you flip the headphones around...I can even pick it up on speakers and I know if L/R are reversed on my mixes.

Is the pitch really changing or is it about percieved pitch & frequency range? I doubt it's really pitch. If it's not a cold or something you might want to ask your ENT about getting a deep ear cleaning. You don't need 'em often, once every couple years is fine but they go in and remove all the really deep wax buildup. Even if your hearing is fine it's like pulling earplugs out!

BTW, molded plugs are really worth the investment. They might seem expensive at first but the clarity, protection and comfort are well worth the dough. I can even answer the phone with them in! They come with me almost everywhere...to the movies, NYC streets, doing construction (hammering is a killer) and all kinds of stuff besides playing msuic or catching a show at a club.
