Answer: A perfect pitch is when you throw a banjo in the dumpster, and it lands on an accordion!
I've got some tinnitus too - in my case, probably from driving a too-loud muscle car in my twenties. Hearing damage is cumulative, another reason I watch my exposure to high SPL these days.
Sorry to hear about the RSI - been there, done that, got to the point where I couldn't even drive a stick-shift without severe pain. I switched jobs, and stopped using computers almost entirely for a year or so. That let my arms, wrists, and hands recover enough to resume somewhat normal activities, cautiously at first.
It's been years now, but I still have to watch that I don't type too much, or spend too much time on high-speed guitar picking practice exercises.
