He was deaf and by the time he died, he was a heavy drinker suffering from liver disease.
Researchers at Argonne National Lab examined his skull to conclude that Beethoven suffered from lead poisoning which was consistent with several of his ailments and was probably what killed him. The heavy drinking was most probably a psychological coping mechanism for the symptoms of lead poisoning that ailed him so. His deafness may or may not have been caused by the lead, in rare cases deafness has been attributed to lead poisoning, but it's rare and the ANL research could not conclude that the lead caused his deafness, but it does seem somewhat reasonable that it did.
