Yes. I have really bad ears, and am starting to train myself, for example, to tune to drop D (tuning the bass E string down two semitones to a D) by ear, by comparing it to the note on the D string. I use a clip-on tuner to check it afterwards, but I'm getting better at it, and at tuning back up to the E afterwards. I'm also trying to train myself to pick up tunes by ear, for example when jamming with others. It doesn't come naturally to me at all, but it is beginning to come, with practice.
If you want a recommendation, I use an Intelli IMT-500 clip on tuner which is reasonably priced and I find it very easy to use.
