Eligibility Criteria
Individuals with hearing loss due to confirmed otoferlin gene mutation(s)
You may qualify if:
- Clinical presentation of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), including auditory neuropathy (AN) / auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) phenotype or medical history of AN / ANSD phenotype earlier in life
- Mutation(s) in the otoferlin gene
- Able and willing to comply with all study requirements, as evidenced by successful completion of the informed consent (and assent, if applicable) process
- Presence of OAE / CM and absent / abnormal ABRs in at least one ear (that does not have a cochlear implant) within 12 months prior to or at the Month 0 visit
You may not qualify if:
- Unwillingness or inability of the potential participant and/or legally authorized representative to comply with all protocol requirements
- Presence of cochlear nerve deficiency and/or cochlear nerve dysplasia
- Presence of bilateral cochlear implants at the time of record review or planned within the next 6 months
- Presence of middle ear or auditory brainstem implant(s) at the time of record review or planned within the next 6 months
- Any condition that would not allow the potential participant to complete follow-up assessments during the course of the study and/or, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the potential participant unsuitable for the study
- Note: Potential participants will not be excluded based on their sex, gender, race, or ethnicity
