What they found

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) associated with OTOF mutations is typically characterised by prelingual hearing loss (HL), absent auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), and preserved otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). However, the long-term stability of OAEs and mechanisms underlying their decline remain poorly understood. Hearing aid (HA) use may influence outer hair cell (OHC) function and OAE responses.
