Why Did He Lose His Earring?

Today, I read Grace and Jack our first book on the life of Beethoven. This was basically, my own crash course in Beethoven as well. The book went indepth into the gradual loss of Beethoven's hearing. Jack, who had been bouncing around the green room, was then suddenly interested, and asked "Why did he lose his earring?".

The kids were amused and confused with the thought of losing one's hearing. We all plugged our ears as good as we could and listened to how muffled everything sounded. I'm not sure the message got through to Jack, as he was still concerned about Beethoven's lost earring.
