The aim of this observational study is to determine the prevalence of OTOF gene variants among patients with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). The primary research question is whether patients with ANSD carry a pathogenic or likely pathogenic OTOF gene variant. Participants will undergo genetic analysis of the OTOF gene.
