Scientists track rare genetic hearing loss over time
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows up to 150 people with hearing loss caused by changes in the otoferlin gene. Researchers will measure hearing function using tests like auditory brainstem response (ABR) and otoacoustic emissions (OAE). The goal is to learn how this type of hearing loss changes …
