Is it true that Ludwig van Beethoven became almost completely deaf in his later life?

Yes. A medical article states Beethoven's hearing loss was complete by age 44, and a scholarly analysis describes him composing while completely deaf; a systematic review confirms his hearing impairment, though it focuses on causes. One reference work notes he was never totally deaf but could still perceive low tones and loud sounds.
