Beethoven wasn’t tone deaf, though, he was deaf deaf—eventually. But his musicianship was highly developed before he lost his hearing, and his inner ear or aural imagination remained.

Evelyn Glennie is an excellent deaf percussionist, who describes herself as hearing through other parts of the body.

I was taking “tone deaf” to mean indifferent to pitch, which would be pretty limiting for most instruments.
