The only famous romantic composer to lose his hearing was German, not French. His name was Ludwig von Beethoven.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a composer of the Classical and Romantic periods who gradually lost his hearing. He composed brilliant music, and is particularly well known for both his piano sonatas and his orchestral symphonies.
The composer Joaquin Rodrigo (1901-1999), best known for the Concierto de Aranjuez (a concerto for guitar and orchestra) was blind. He lost most of his sight at the age of three after contracting diphtheria, and he wrote his music in braille. Bach was severely sight-inhibited near the end of his life due to cataracts; he died after a botched eye surgery (the same doctor also killed Handel, doing the same operation). Less well known is piano virtuoso and composer Maria von Paradis, who was a friend of Mozart. Although he was not blind, late classical/early romantic composer Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-17832) lost his right eye at the age of seven in an accident.
By the time he was 30 years old, he was dealing with the incurable reality of his deafness. He was also suffering from several ailments related to lead poisoning, which may or may not have caused his deafness.
Mr. Chopin was a Polish composer whose givens names, Frédéric François, are markedly French, probably owing to the fact his father was French. I am only guessing that his Polish mother lost the battle in naming him.
