Hearing loss (HL) affects more than 1.5 billion people worldwide and remains a leading cause of disability across the lifespan. While genetic predispositions, otitis media (OM), and cholesteatoma are well-recognized contributors, Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is an underappreciated but pivotal determinant of auditory morbidity.
