You don't have to look far to see the interest in the article: a pianist with near-profound hearing loss stating that Beethoven's compositions become more interesting to her the later they were composed, coinciding with Beethoven's loss in hearing. "More pitch distance and difference, and more vibration and resonance, create a recipe for happiness for a hearing-impaired person." That, in turn, leads to the consideration of whether Beethoven's later music was defined in some way by his deafness.
