Beethoven was the famous deaf composer, though it wasn't quite as Gary Oldman protrayed it in Immortal Beloved. Beethoven didn't really need to "feel" his music though I'm sure it was nice sometimes.

I read an account of the debut of Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto and for one reason or another (I'm not sure if the piano was tuned high or low or the orchestra was or what) he ended up having to play it either a half-step lower or higher than he had written it.

Schubert died from syphilis at the tender age of 31.
