"I beleive that at the time of the 2nd, Beethoven wasn't completely deaf. I beleive that total, utter deafness came later. In any case, whether he heard or felt or was inspired in some way, he apparently was in the presence of a larger orchestra, and liked it enough to want it going forward."
That is correct, and is true of the 5th symphony as well. Beethoven would have been described as hard of hearing through the mid 1810s, at which time his functioning deteriorated.
