I'm the same way although not totall blind, but I can tell when a unison is out at our church and it bugs me to death. Our pastor doesn't want to pay for a tuning so I either do a free one or wait until Jesus comes back.

There have been many studies in regards to the Urban Legend: "Blind people can hear better", all have proven that Blind people do not have any better/worse hearing than visual types. Sheesh!
