Hello Surjeet ji,
Thank you for your question. I understand how frustrating and limiting sudden or progressive hearing loss can be. But dont worry we are here to help. You out
In sudden or profound loss, the nerve damage is often involved so Ayurvedic therapies focus on improving nerve nourishment, local circulation, and clearing blockages.
✅ Ayurvedic Treatment to Hearing Loss
1. Nasya Karma (Nasal Medication)
☑️Anu Taila or Ksheerabala Taila nasya: 4–6 drops in each nostril every morning
➡️Clears head channels, improves hearing and nervous system function
2. Karna Purana (Ear Oil Therapy)
Warm medicated oil like Bilva Taila is instilled into the ears
Done for 7–14 days in Panchakarma clinic
Helps in nourishing auditory nerves and improving sensitivity
3. Shirodhara or Takradhara
Very beneficial if hearing loss is associated with anxiety, sleep issues, Vata aggravation
Calms down the nervous system and enhances brain and ear connection
4. Internal Medicines
1 Vrihat Vata Chintamani Ras 1-0-1 ( Strengthens nerves, especially for geriatric Vata imbalance)
2 Ksheerabala 101 1-0-1 Rejuvenates nerves, reduces degeneration
3 Kaishor Guggulu 2-0-2 (helps if hearing loss due to chronic inflammation)
Sudden hearing loss may not completely reverse at age 69, but Ayurveda can stabilize remaining hearing, prevent further deterioration, and improve hearing aid adaptability.
Surjeet ji, full hearing recovery may not be guaranteed at this stage, but Ayurveda can still offer valuable improvement in:
☑️Clarity of existing hearing
☑️Ear nerve strength
☑️Mental calmness
With this TREATMENT you will definately see changes but you have to be consistent😊👍
Warm. Regards
Dr Snehal Vidhate

common ayurvedic conditions associated-
- karna nada- tinnitus
- badhirya- hearing loss/deafness
-karna sava-ear discharge/ infection
PITENT AYURVEDIC TREATMENT
1) KARNA PURANA= intill bilva Taila 2 drops warm gently in the ear
-helps lubrivate ear canal and pacify vata
- may support nerve health and improve mild to moderate hearing loss
2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of brahmi ghrita in each nostrils
- supports head and sensory organ health
-regulate vata in upper body
INTERNAL
1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with milk

hello Surjeet,
Sudden hearing loss especially at your age with diabetes can feel very limiting, but yes, Ayurveda can offer supportive therapies that may help improve nerve conduction, circulation to the ears, and overall ear function. That said, the goal isn’t always full hearing restoration, but rather to improve what's left, prevent further degeneration, and possibly revive nerve signals if the damage is not yet complete.
In Ayurveda, this condition often relates to Karna Naada, Badhirya, or Karna Shosha, usually caused by Vata aggravation in the head and ear channels (Karnendriya srotas). Diabetes adds more dryness and degeneration to the nerves (Majja Dhatu Kshaya), which worsens hearing. With regular Panchakarma therapies and internal medicine, we often see some improvement even in elderly patients, especially if treatment is started early and consistently.
Approach-wise, you should look for an experienced MD (Ayurveda) in Shalakya Tantra or Kayachikitsa preferably at a government Ayurvedic college or a reputed panchakarma hospital. Many patients get good results in institutions like:
AVP Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu)
Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala (Kerala)
SDM Ayurveda College Udupi or Hassan
Banaras Hindu University (BHU) – has a strong Shalakya department
National Institute of Ayurveda (Jaipur)
Panchakarma treatments like Karna Purana, Nasya, Shirodhara, and Matra Basti are often used for this condition, along with internal Rasayana medicines for nerve regeneration.
Prescription (for now, until you reach a center)
Ashwagandha capsule – 1 cap twice a day after meals
Brahmi Vati (Gold optional) – 1 tab at bedtime
Karna Purana – Daily warm Anu taila or Bilwadi taila in both ears (5 drops per ear, lie down for 10 min)
Nasya with Anu Taila – 2 drops per nostril daily morning (under guidance if diabetic)
Dashamoola Kwath – 15 ml with water twice daily before food
Support the process with head oil massage, proper sleep, and strict blood sugar control, as high glucose impairs nerve recovery.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
Dr.Karthika.

Hi surjeet this is Dr Vinayak as considering your problem... usually hearing loss will not be a sudden condition...it is age related and gradually happens
If you get this suddenly then any trauma etc? And since how many years are suffering from this?and along with this any other symptoms Did you observe
Actually I think it is completely your age related problems ..
For better results you should go with NASYA AND KARNA PURANA procedure along with medicine
T.ksheerabala 101 1-0-1 after food
T .brahmi grita 1-0-1 after food
Just maintain proper sleep and diet

HELLO SURJEET,
Improving hearing loss in a diabetic patient- particularly at the age 69 with profound loss in one ear and partial aid in the other- is a complex issue.
Ayurveda can offer supportive care to potentially improve or stabilise hearing, especially if there is some remaining auditory function. However complete recovery of profound sensorineural hearing loss is rare, regardless of the system of medicine. That said ayurveda focuses on strengthening nerves, balancing doshas and reducing toxins which may help in your case
AYURVEDIC VIEW
DOSHA= predominantly vata(prana and vaan vata) with kapha involvement in chronic cases
DUSHYA= nervous tissue, plasma and shukra indirectly affected due to aging and madhumeha
SROTAS AFFECTED= ear channels, neurological control, rasavaha, majjavaha
ROGA MARGA= diseases affecting deeper channels and nervous system
SAMPRAPTI= prana vata derangement dueto age and diabetes dries up the auditory nerves-> weak conduction-> Karna badhirya(hearing loss)
TYPES OF HEARING LOSS IN AYURVEDA
VATAJA KARNA BADHIRYA= sudden dry, cracking sounds, progressive loss(most common in diabetics)
KAPHAJA KARNA BADHIRYA= muffled hearing, waxy blockages, heaviness
PITTAJA KARNA BADHIRYA= inflammatory, pain, possible infections
Based on your case the most likely pattern is chronic vataja Karna badhirya with diabetic neuropathy
INTERNALLY START WITH
1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp twice a day with milk in morning and night
= nerve rejuvenator, vata balancing
2) BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm water before breakfast
= medya Rasayana-strengthens auditory nerves
3)KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after food
= anti-inflammatory, blood purifier, supports diabetic metabolism
4) VASANT KUSUMAKAR RAS= 125 mg once daily with milk
=rejuvinative for diabetes and nerves
5) SHILAJIT(purified)= 500 mg twice daily with milk
=balances kapha, and vata supports sugar control, and nerve function
6) YASHTIMADHU+VACHA POWDER(equal part)= 3 gm with warm water at night
= nerve stimulant and anti-inflammatory
7) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals
= supports genitourinary and nervous systems, used in diabetic complications
NASYA KARMA= 4 drops of shadbindu taila in each nostril daily after head and neck massage in morning empty stomach
=stimulates cranial nerves, clears kapha, and improves nerve regenration
KARNA PURANA= lukewarm Kshara taila instill in ears 2 drops retained for 10-15 min
daily for 21 days
=nourisehs auditory nerves, lubricates channels, vata pacifying
PANCHAKARMA ADVISED
-SHIRODHARA= brahmi taila for 40 min for 14 days
=calms prana vata ,reduces stress induced neurodegeneration
BASTI(medicated enema)
=deep vata pacification, strengthens majjja dhatu
HEAD AND FOOT MASSAGE
-daily use of bala-ashawagandha taila
=helps stabilise vata and calm nervous system
DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
EAT
-warm, freshly, cooked meals
-use of ghee
- millets, green gram, bottle gourd, bitter gourd
-mild spices-turmeric, cumin, coriander
-herbal teas= ginger, coriander, cinnamon
AVOID STRICTLY
-processed , cold, stale food
-fried food, heavy to digest
- excess wheat, red meat, dairy desserts
- excess chilli, sour foods, curd
- cold drinks, carbonated beverages
PRANAYAM
-bhramari= 5 min
morning and evening = stimulates cochlear nerve
-Nadi sodhana= balances vata and calms mind
ASANA
-vajrasana, padmasana, and stkhasana for meditation
-gentle neck rotations and ear massages to improve circulation
DAILY ROUITNE
-avoid head baths with cold water
-sleep before 10pm, wake by 6 am
-avoid exposure to loud noise, cold wind
SUGGESTED AYURVEDIC ENT CENTRES
AIIA(all india institute of ayurveda)= DELHI
Arya Vaidya sala, kottakal= cereal
SDM ayurveda hospital= Udupi, Hassan, Karnataka
BHU = varanasi
AyurVAID hospitals= banger, kochi, Chennai
Vaidyaratnam oushadhasala= Thrissur, kerala
IF you can mention area where you live I can suggest nearby hospital
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Sudden hearing loss, especially when it's profound, should be addressed with prompt medical attention. Ayurveda, as a complementary approach, does offer ways to support hearing health and address underlying issues related to dosha imbalances.
Firstly, it’s important to identify your dosha type (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) as imbalances often contribute to health issues, including hearing loss. Vata imbalance, in particular, can be implicated in ear problems such as tinnitus and hearing loss because it governs both the nervous system and circulation, which are vital for ear health.
In Ayurveda, focus on maintaining proper ear care and balancing the Vata dosha which might be responsible for your hearing issues. Begin by managing stress and ensuring proper sleep, these are crucial as Vata imbalance can be aggravated by inadequate rest.
Consider incorporating a daily ear massage with warm sesame oil, which is known to pacify Vata, into your routine. Apply 2-3 drops of lukewarm sesame oil into each ear in the morning or evening, and gently massage around your ears. Make sure the oil is not too hot, just warm enough to feel comfortable.
Diet plays a critical role; favoring warm, nourishing foods and avoiding cold, dry, or light foods can help keep Vata calm. Cooked vegetables, grains like rice, and warm soups can be particularly beneficial. Stay hydrated and add spices such as ginger and cumin to aid digestion and circulation, which are crucial for overall health.
Specific Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shankhapushpi may support your hearing health by improving circulation and supporting the nervous system. Before starting any herbal supplements, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure they're appropriate considering any contraindications with your existing conditions or treatments.
For personalized treatment, seek out a qualified Ayurvedic MD who is experienced in dealing with hearing impairments. Reputable Ayurvedic hospitals such as the Arya Vaidya Shala Kottakkal or Jiva Ayurveda may offer consultations and tailored treatments for regional availability. These practitioners can provide customized treatment plans combining panchakarma, herbal preparations, dietary, and lifestyle adjustments for better results.
It’s crucial to keep in touch with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring. Ayurveda should be a complementary practice; modern medical interventions, hearing aids, and possibly even surgical options should also be discussed with your MD.
