Which classical music was deaf?

Ludwig van Beethoven, whose hearing began to deteriorate from the age of 28. He was very angry and sad about this and was said to have written notes declaring his suicide to his family. Fortunately, this did not happen. To express his sadness and anger, Beethoven composed many songs with such feelings expressed inside them. Beethoven wrote most of his music when he was at least partially deaf, and the music of his last years when he was completely deaf. Unlike Beethoven, Smetana went deaf quite suddenly and lived for another 10 years, during which he continued to compose a substantial amount of music (though not 'the majority' of his output).

This gradual decline in his hearing began in the 1770s and became more pronounced by the 1800s. Despite this impairment, he continued to compose and conduct music, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and resilience in his artistry.
