It's unlikely that you are truly tone deaf as it effects very few people. If you can differentiate high and low pitches when they're being played then you are not tone deaf. On the other hand, if you can't tell the difference between notes when played (especially if there is a big range) then you are.
Most likely you are just having issues with your singing voice, most of which can be overcome. Usually the culprit is that you are staying in your chest or speaking register. Sometimes too the problem is not coordinating what you are hearing to the muscles for singing. A third possibilty is a voice change. I have had students "lose" their notes as the voice changed only to have them reappear.
I would suggest working with someone (voice teacher, choir director, etc.). These can be fixed, it just may take a little time to get the ears, brain, and voice all working together.
Good Luck

Ditto Song Catcher. True tone deafness is a result of serious injury to the cochlea, a situation that the medical art is unable to remedy at present; fixing tone-deafness would require neural microsurgery at least, as the cochlear hairs respond to specific frequency ranges. Roger Love defined tone shyness in his paperback Set Your Voice Free: How to Get the Singing or Speaking Voice You Want (NYC: Little, Brown and Co., 1999), p. 12; tone shyness can be corrected, unlike tone deafness.

Yes. Tone deafness does not exist. You just have to learn to recognize changes in pitch.
