HELLO GEORGE,

It’s frustrating to have persistent symptoms like deep ear pain, pressure, and tinnitus- especially when tests say everything looks fine. You mentioned the issue began after trauma to the ear(using a matchstick), which may have initially caused a ruptured eardrum or triggered other complications. Even if it healed, residual symptoms may persist.

LIKELY CAUSES

1) EUSTACHIAN TUBE DYSFUNCTION- may cause a sensation of pressure/fullness even if the eardrum appears normal

2) TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION= can mimic deep ear pain and cause pressure or referred tinnitus

3)NEUROPATHIC PAIN/ CHRONIC OTALGIA= sometimes, nerve endings become sensitised after injury

4) MYOFASCIAL PAIN OR CERVICAL SPINAL ISSUES= can refer pain to. ear

5) PERSISTANT TINNITUS- often central, especially if ear function is mostly intact

In Ayurveda, this may be seen as a disorder of VATA DOSHA, especially affecting the head and sensory organs

KARNA SHOOLA-ear pain KARNA NADA- tinnitus These conditions are mostly linked to vata imbalance- dryness, nerve hypersensitivity, and poor circulation in the ear region.

MANAGEMENT PLAN INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk = vata balancing, nerve tonic

2) YOGARAJ GGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = joint, nerve and vata balancing

3) SARASWARISHTA= 20 ml daily at bedtime with water =cognitive and nerve strengthening

* NASYA THERAPY -use ANU TAILA or KSEERBALA TAILA(101) for nasal instillation- 2 drops in each nostril in the morning empty stomach. -helps with head and neck vata disorders including tinitus and ETD

* KARNA PURANA (EAR OIL THERAPY) -warm BILVA TAILA and place 3 drops in the affected ear(if no active infection or perforation) -do not do if any active discharge or open eardrum

* DIET AND LIFESTYLE -favour warm, moist, oily foods ; avoid dry, cold or overly spicy foods -avoid loud sounds, overuse of earphones, cold exposure to the ears -gentle neck yoga, pranayam like bhramari to improve circulation and calm nervous system

-Steam inhalation with tulsi or eucalyptus oil -jaw and neck massage -avoid inserting anything into ear- cotton buds etc

1)NECK AND JAW STRETCHING- 10 MINS helps relieve pressure from Eustachian tube dysfunction and TMJ issues -neck rolls- clockwise and anti clockwise= 5 each -chin to chest hold= 30 sec -ear to shoulder stretch= 30 sec per side -jaw relaxation(open mouth slowly, side-to-side glide)= 10 reps

Do this 2-3 times a day, especially after waking and before sleep

PRANAYAM- 10-15 MINS these calms the nervous system, balance vata and helps reduce tinnitus -BHRAMARI- 5 mins= vibrations soothe the ear and nervous system -NADI SODHANA- 5 mins= balances vata and calm tinnitus -DEEP BELLY BREATHING-5min= reduces anxiety and internal tension. Do in quite, relaxed environment. Avoid forceful breathing.

3) GENTLE YOGA FOR VATA BALANCE- 15-20 mins these poses improves neck circulation and help nerve relaxation -marjariasana= 5-10 rounds -balasana= 1 min -setu bandhasana= 5 breadth* 3 reps -viparita karani= 5-10 min(great for tinnitus)

4) EYE AND HEAD MOVEMENTS(to stimulate ear-nose-throat balance)- 3-5 mins daily -move eyes side to side , up and down, and in circles(slowly) -gentle head tilts in each direction -focus far and near-palming the eyes afterward

AVOID -high impact exercises like running and jumping until pressure normalise -inversions like full headstands-can increase inner ear pressure -holding breath during strenuous activities

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS -keep regular morning and evening routines -stay warm- especially ears and neck -hydrate with warm water, not cold -practice in quite, clean, low stress environments

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
