Summary

This study follows 30 people who previously received a gene therapy (AAVAnc80-hOTOF) for hearing loss caused by otoferlin gene mutations. Researchers will monitor safety over the long term, checking for late side effects, and measure hearing improvements using brain response tests. The goal is to ensure the treatment remains safe and effective over time.
