    So recently I have been experiencing diplacusis, or double hearing. The hearing in my right ear is extremely pitched as opposed to my left ear, and it throws sounds off and makes everything sound weird and strange, especially with music, with this music sounds extremely pitched and out of tune. As you can imagine this also throws my guitar playing off as everything sounds off and out of tune, despite my guitar being perfectly in tune and everything sounding in tune to everybody else. I have been dealing with this for about a week or so and it has been driving me crazy. I was just wondering if there were any tips to help while playing, because it has been driving me up the wall this last week. Thank you for any help in advance.

    Damn, sounds rough. I didn't even know this was a thing. Unfortunately I can't help, but I hope you will find a way to work things out. Have you seen a doctor about this?
    I have been trying to schedule an appointment with the local ENT, but getting an appointment where I live can be a bit tricky, so I am trying to look elsewhere, but I'm trying to get it looked at, as it is extremely annoying and a bit disorienting.

    Yeah I bet, I hope you'll be able to get checked out really soon and find a solution!
