Sincerest form of flattery

Impersonation is a male dominated profession. Beyond being male-centric, it has always been an exclusively human profession.

Labyrinthitis

The fact that Beethoven was deaf is used as a motivator by parents, teachers, and speakers. The truth of the matter is a little more complicated and heart breaking. Ludwig wasn't born deaf, he gradually lost his hearing. In a letter to his friend Dr. Franz Gerhard Wegeler, Beethoven said, "...
