Article Synopsis
  • Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a serious condition associated with areca nut chewing, linked to dental health and possibly hearing impairment, prompting a need for investigation into its effects on hearing.
  • A systematic review of 1137 articles identified 18 studies showing a significant correlation between OSMF severity and hearing loss, particularly conductive hearing loss in advanced cases.
  • The review highlighted that Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) often contributes to hearing issues in OSMF patients, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary management and early audiological screening for better patient outcomes.
