You can find all the information you need about Beethoven with a quick Google search. "Around 1796, Beethoven began to lose his hearing.[8] He suffered a severe form of tinnitus, a "ringing" in his ears that made it hard for him to perceive and appreciate music; he also avoided conversation. He lived for a time in the small Austrian town of Heiligenstadt, just outside Vienna. Here he wrote his Heiligenstadt Testament, which records his resolution to continue living for and through his art. Over time, his hearing loss became profound: there is a well-attested story that, at the end of the premiere of his Ninth Symphony, he had to be turned around to see the tumultuous applause of the audience; hearing nothing, he began to weep.[9] Beethoven's hearing loss did not prevent his composing music, but it made concerts—lucrative sources of income—increasingly difficult." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven

Beethoven went deaf because his father beat the crap out of him literally every night of his life. Repeated trauma to the head isn't exactly good for the ears.
