When something is not quite right in my audio system, it is not mainly my exact memory of his past sound quality that help me to be conscious of the problem and to correct it...
It is not some replicate model of the past sound keep in my memory, it is a feeling that warn me, like an alarm bell, that something is not quite right.... Then being conscious of the fact that something is not quite right , my alerted awareness can now listen critically and look for the problem....
It is not a conscious memory of the sound that i can recall from my brain, it is the unconscious lack of something that begins to emerge to awareness by the FEELING of my sentient body, because in the past some musical experience was associated with a pleasure that is now lacking, but my body gives me a displeasure or an unsatisfaction that gives to my consciousness the essential hint that something is wrong...
I dont recall or remember the sound in itself, i recall and remember the feeling associated to the musical sound....
It is not necessary to have " bat ears" but only to love music with his heart more than only with his brain....
All my listenings experiments, with which i created my homemade devices controls embeddings were experienced in this way: listening to my internal impression...And these embeddings controls gives me with a low cost systen a high end experience.... :) But without my listening experiments for many years no progress would have been possible at all....I never had the luxury money to buy what most call an high end "upgrade "....But i dont need any upgrade anymore thanks, not to my memory or to the "ears bat" i never had anyway, thanks rather to my heart listenings experiments and experience....
« All music are sounds, but all sounds are not music, the difference is sensed by the feeling organ»- Groucho Marx
« We listen with the heart and the body, not with the ears only»- Harpo Marx impersonating Beethoven
« Learning to hear is not pretending to hear something, it is learning from our emotions, and developing our feelings» -Anonymus
« Only robot can have sensation without feeling»- my wife
P.S. i am neither an engineer nor a musician, only an ordinary someone who dreamed to listen music with a very good sound.....
Final note: to answer the OP, it was not for me a curse because it was not an innate hability, it was a learning ongoing experience that help me create my audio room for peanuts costs, then a blessing.....
