Does anyone one else hear notes as frequencies rather then just notes? I've been playing music on one type of an instrument or anthoer for anout 12 years. For the first time the other day I heard the notes as frequencies instead of the notes themselves.
 
Kind of like when you take a multi band eq and set everything to - inf decibles and then push one freq all the way up. Except I was hearing it as if each note was its own freq. Or sort of like I had a phaser on and it only phased on each note.
 
I sometimes have problems with too much wax building up in my ears. The sound is something like what you're describing. I recommend that you see a doctor about it ASAP.

I'm sure you know that each note does have a fundamental frequency. Yes? So it's a little confusing when you make a distinction between "frequencies" and "the notes themselves."

erm... do you mean to say that when you play an A note, you think to yourself: "Wow man! That was definitely 440 Hz right there!"?
 
lol; no. It sound more like a slider on an EQ board is being moved around
