Hello, Please consult a ayurveda doctor who has specialized in ENT(Shalakya) as it needs detail physical examination to know the cause. There are many causes for tinnitus and treatment is according to the cause. Sometimes it may be as simple as ear wax. Take care. Kind regards
Are you hearing any ringing or strange sounds in your ears? That could be tinnitus, and we’ve seen very good results in many cases just by following proper treatment. First, I’d suggest getting your haemoglobin, a full CBC profile, and a proper ear check-up done to rule out any physical causes. Also, let me know if you’re having any other symptoms—like heaviness in the head, dizziness, sleep issues, or stress—so we can plan the line of treatment properly. We’ll start with Karna Kriyakalpa procedures: first, Karna Abhyanga with Kshamala Taila, followed by Karna Poorana using Vilwadi Taila for 7 days, and then Karna Dhoopana for 3 days. These therapies help to calm the nerve pathways, improve ear function, and reduce the ringing sensation. Along with that, you’ll start taking Amalaki Rasayana and Sarivadi Vati—2 tablets twice a day—which help nourish the auditory nerves. Also, take Dashamoola Katutrayadi Kashayam, 15 ml twice daily with equal water before food. Avoid cold drinks and foods, use cotton in your ears while travelling, and please don’t scratch or use earbuds inside the ear canal. Once we evaluate your reports and progress, we’ll decide if any further therapy is needed.

Hi ifham this is Dr Vinayak…by considering your problem
Tinnitus mainly seen with complaint or problem in tympanic membrain there may be perforation etc
So u better go with treatment like KARNA PURANA AND KARNA DHUPANA Rx- T manasa mitra vati 1-0-1. After food Cap ksheerabala Ds 1-0-1 after food Dashamoola ks 10ml twice before food
Take Shilajit satva 1 drop twice daily before food with milk Sarivadi vati 1-0-1 after food with water Karnapuran i.e. putting oil -sesame in ear close with cotton swab, keep overnight. performing the Valsalva maneuver. You need to close your nostrils and mouth and fill mouth with air pressure air to pass from mouth to ears.do this 4-5 times daily.
Tinnitus can be quite disruptive, particularly when it persists over a long period. According to Ayurveda, tinnitus might releate to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and flow in the body, including functions of hearing. Here’s what you might consider to help balance your Vata and alleviate symptoms.
First, focus on Vata-pacifying diet. This includes warm, nourishing, and grounding foods like cooked grains (rice, quinoa), ripe fruits, cooked vegetables, nuts, seeds, and warming spices such as ginger, cumin, and cinnamon. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods; these can aggravate Vata. Try to include healthy fats like ghee, which supports nervous system health.
Daily lifestyle choices can make a significant difference too. Regularity is key for calming Vata, so try to maintain a consistent daily routine. Wake up and go to bed at the same time each day, and incorporate calming practices such as meditation or gentle yoga to help quiet the mind and nervous system. Regular oil massage, specifically with warm sesame oil, can be grounding and soothing for Vata - apply it before bath or shower.
Stay attentive to your digestive fire, or ‘agni’. A weak digestive fire can increase Vata, so aim to keep it strong with small, regular meals, and ensure you are not skipping meals or eating too late at night. Drinking warm water or herbal teas like ginger or licorice can also support digestion.
For herbal support, consider using Ashwagandha or Brahmi, known for their calming and rejuvenating effects on the nervous system. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regimen to ensure it’s suitable for your unique constitution and current health status.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek medical attention from a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions that may need specific treatment. In the meantime, these recommendations might help bring some relief and balance to your life.
