Ludwig van Beethoven started hearing noises and pops and various other sounds around the age of 26. He started to lose his hearing at 28. By 31 he had lost 60% of his hearing in both ears which progressed to complete deafness by the age of 46. He continued to compose all during this time as he knew music so well, and heard the music in his head and knew the notes to write down. Some of his last work, which included some of his greatest compositions, he never heard played due to his deafness. There were no ear specialists in his time but doctors later took all the symptoms and drew from his volume of correspondence and personal writings and said that his deafness was caused by either "...neurolabyrinthitis, otospongiose, or labyrinthitis..."
