In the film they also inform about the most recent diagnosis of
Beethoven's illness, that is drawn from the contemporary autopsie of
Beethoven's ear (after minute 58, around 62 you find a table with the
diagnosis).
After Wolfram Klingler: (as already written by A. John Mardinly) an

Thomas Mace was deaf in his later years. He pressed his front teeth against the
edge of the soundboard and thus was able to hear what he was playing. He
describes this in his Musicks’ Monument in 1676.

Very interesting discourse about Beethoven's deafness, several more
available (in german) on YT. Thanks for the link Markus. Although it
doesn't specify the nature of the hearing aid connected to the piano
which was used, I assume that all hasn't yet been said in this matter.

Just curious - How do we know the exact cause of Beethoven's deafness
today? I assume doctors of the time didn't possess enough knowledge of
the causes of deafness to make a diagnosis.

I'm not sure that this is a myth.
There is a youtube video in German by the medical society of Mainz about
Beethoven's deafness and his relation to Johann Nepomuk Mälzel (the
inventor of the metronome).
Beethoven used his ear trumpets and Mälzel also constructed a mechanism
that was set on the
A myth then apparently. Interesting though, that:
The "phenomenon" of bone conduction is generally credited as being
discovered in the 1500s (though some say it can be traced back to
around 2AD). A physician, mathematician, philosopher and all-around
brilliant fella' by the name of

Beethoven’s deafness was caused by “inner ear” problems, sometimes called
labyrinthitis, a form of nerve deafness, not mechanical problems, such as
damage to the eardrum or the small bones of the inner ear. As such, it is
unlikely that the bone conduction would have been any use to him.

No, it is just an absurd joke that mostly works with children under age
12... But whatever makes a child giggle hysterically is worth
remembering. (IMHO)
Another example: "What is the difference between a crow?" Answer: "none,
both legs are the same". I guess these are equivalent to the

So, is this just another example of that recent (american?) phenomenon
"fake news"? The google string "Beethoven bone conduction" gives an

From a historical perspective even "bad" music is worth preserving and
making available, so thanks, Alain, for undertaking this project.

Perhaps not as profound as a Weiss tombeau, but I simply like the sound of much
of Dalla Casa's archlute music, and he saw fit to include several works for
mandolino/mandola as well. Worth a listen to judge for one's self:
