Ludwig van Beethoven made music when he was deaf by feeling vibrations and hearing the music in his head. He didn't become deaf until later in his life, so he had Music Theory well established in his mind and 'ear' well before that happened. If he had been totally deaf from birth, he would never have been able to write music, or to have a career as a pianist/musician.
