This is useful context. His sonatas are truly masterpieces, not to say that his other incredible works are not.

His greatest sonata “Hammerklavier” was written when he was almost completely deaf in 1818. I think this commenter’s insinuation that Beethoven’s best work happened while he could hear is largely false. Op 132, op 132, grosse fuge, 9th etc

I think it was more of an argument against there being any correlation at all, which I think is a reasonable one
