How'd the motherfucker write music if he didn't know what sounds were?

From what I understand, the deafness came late in life, possibly from mercury poisoning. I'd have to look up the details at some point, but Ludvig's hearing was fine until around the 6th or 7th Symphony. The loss didn't become apparent until the 8th, and the 9th was his finale because he was at his limit, physically and mentally. If I heard wrong, then I heard wrong; like I said, I'd need to look it up.

He was a genius. When he heard something played, he could identify all the notes in it. Knowing how each note sounded helped him write when he was deaf.

I'm more impressed that he was able to write music while being a dog.

His hearing didn't start going until he was 30ish, and wasn't completely gone until he was in his mid-40's. He had enough musical experience by then to know what notes sounded like without actually having to play them. I've also seen it claimed in some places that he attached a metal bar to the piano and bit down on it while playing because he could still hear by conduction, but I haven't verified that.

You know what would be helpful? If you did a little research. He became deaf later.
