Beethoven could apparently still hear some speech and music until 1812. But by the age of 44, he was almost totally deaf and unable to hear voices or so many of the sounds of his beloved countryside.
Beethoven wasn’t born deaf, he started losing his hearing at age 26. He composed many pieces before and during his gradual hearing loss. I would guess that continuing to compose after he was profoundly deaf was more like remembering the way notes sounded and then putting them together in new and brilliant ways.
