Letters from Beethoven to his friends in 1801 indicate he had begun experiencing ringing (tinnitus) and deafness in his ears for at least the past three years, since around 1797 - 1798, at the age of 26 or 27.
It is believed that lead poisoning caused his deafness, as well as causing his many stomach ailments, and ultimately led to his premature death.
By 1815 (age 44), Beethoven stated that his condition had become "intolerable" and he could no longer perform in public, though he could still compose.
This actually marked a greater depth in Beethoven's compositions. His "Middle" period of composing began shortly after he was beset with deafness. Beethoven's music of this period tended towards large-scale works expressing heroism and struggle. This increased with the "Late" period of Beethoven's career, which covered the final eleven years of his life. During this time, his compositions reflected Beethoven's personal expression in their depth and intensity.
By 1815, when he was 44, Beethoven's condition had become "intolerable" and he could no longer perform in public, though he could still compose. Within about three years of this time, he was completely deaf.
