Abstract

Tinnitus, a persistent auditory disorder, affects millions worldwide. Conventional treatments, including medications, sound therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, often provide insufficient relief. Tinnitus poses a significant challenge to clinicians due to its complex pathophysiology and high recurrence rates. In Ayurveda, tinnitus resembles the condition known as "Karnanaada" or "KarnaKshveda," characterized by an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. Tinnitus is marked by symptoms such as unwanted sounds (ringing, buzzing, or hissing), hearing loss, ear fullness, anxiety, and stress.This case report presents a 53-year-old female patient with complaint of ringing in ears diagnosed as Tinnitus and Karnanda according to Ayurveda on 20^th June 2024, treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines and lifestyle modifications. Significant improvements were observed in symptoms and quality of life after 90 days of treatment. Ayurvedic approaches, focusing on dosha balance, diet, and stress management, offer a promising complementary therapy for managing tinnitus.
