Remember when our birthday parties were a small neighbourhood gathering? The usual fare was bread and butter, pancakes, chocolate crackles, ice cream and jelly. Then there was a small bag of lollies to take home. It's a far cry from today's parties, which cost thousands of dollars…

Without a doubt, the most famous composer to lose his hearing was Beethoven. He started noticing the loss in his late 20s, and by his 30s, he was on the verge of suicide. The exact cause of his hearing loss is unknown. Theories range from syphilis to lead poisoning, typhus, or possibly even his habit of plunging his head into cold water to keep himself awake. When Beethoven composed his greatest symphony, Symphony No. 9, “The Choral”, he was completely deaf.
