Beethoven is a world-famous composer. 1796, Beethoven was only 26 years old. He wrote the first three sonatas, but the pain came to him. Due to poor treatment, his ear pharyngitis turned into chronic otitis media and his hearing became worse and worse. 1820, he was completely deaf, which was a great blow to composers who demanded more perfect hearing than others. Beethoven did not give in. He said, "I want to hold my throat." In order to overcome the difficulty of hearing loss, he sat near the band, watching musical instruments and actors singing. In his later years, this method didn't work, so he used a small wooden stick, one end of which was inserted in the piano box and the other end was bitten between his teeth to "listen" when composing music. It was in this situation that Beethoven completed the Ninth Symphony, which attracted worldwide attention.
