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 2. Mutation(s) in the otoferlin gene 3. Able and willing to comply with all study requirements, as evidenced by successful completion of the informed consent (and assent, if applicable) process Additional Criteria for Inclusion in the Prospective Phase: 4. 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

Presence of cochlear nerve deficiency and/or cochlear nerve dysplasia Additional Criteria for Exclusion from the Prospective Phase: 3. Presence of bilateral cochlear implants at the time of record review or planned within the next 6 months 4. Presence of middle ear or auditory brainstem implant(s) at the time of record review or planned within the next 6 months 5.
