This is a research study that follows people with hearing loss caused by changes in the otoferlin gene. Researchers want to understand how this type of hearing loss develops and progresses over time by collecting information about participants' hearing and medical history. This natural history study will help scientists learn more about the condition so they can develop better treatments in the future.
Right now, doctors don't have enough detailed information about how hearing loss from otoferlin gene mutations typically progresses in different people. By carefully tracking participants over time, researchers hope to better understand the pattern of this condition, which could help them design future treatments and improve care.

Participants in this study will have their medical records reviewed to understand their hearing loss history. Some participants will also be asked to visit the study clinic at regular intervals for hearing tests and evaluations. The study combines information from the past with ongoing monitoring, so researchers can track how the condition changes over time.
