William Hung proved that even if you're pretty much tone deaf, you can still make waves in the music industry. What is the scientific name for "tone deafness"?

Amusia is defined as "the inability to recognize musical tones or to reproduce them." Amusia can be congenital (present at birth) or be acquired sometime later in life. Studies have determined that only about 4% of the population is truly totally tone deaf.
