Yes. It was a gradual loss, and by the time he composed his 9th symphony he couldn't hear anything.

The legend is -- when he finished conducting the debut performance of his 9th symphony the audience applauded wildly. A member of the orchestra had to go over to Ludwig, turn him around and point to the audience, so he could see how much they loved his symphony.

Although this activity alone did not cause his deafness, it probably did no good at trying to promote better hearing. No, his loss of hearing was due to his father beating his ears

Although it was uncertain for many years, researchers have concluded by examining a lock of Beethoven's hair, that lead poisoning led to his unfortunate loss of hearing.

What is it called when you you swing a bucket of water but the water stays in the bucket?

Well, if I am correct the water in the bucket stays in there because of inertia and centripetal force. The water wants to come out of the bucket but inertia prevents the water to come out of the bucket. That is all I know I don't know how centripetal force helps the water stay in the bucket though. Hoped this helped you a bit.

Why did Ludwig van Beethoven lose his hearing?

We don't know the immediate cause of Beethoven's deafness. A number of ideas have been discussed, including syphilis, typhus, lupus and lead poisoning; some have even speculated it had to do with Beethoven's habit of immersing his head in cold water, but we have no way of testing any of these theories.
