Swathi, sensorineural hearing loss can be due to various factors like prolonged exposure to loud noise, aging, or underlying health issues. In Ayurveda, this condition is often linked to Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances that affect the Shrotra (hearing organ). Here's a general approach:
Internal Treatment:
Brahmi and Ashwagandha help balance Vata and improve neurological function.
Shankhapushpi can support brain and ear health.
Anu Taila Nasya (nasal drops) can help clear blockages in the head and improve sensory function.
External Treatment:
Shirodhara and Abhyanga (massage) to balance doshas and improve circulation to the ear region.
Karna Purana (oil application in ears) with Musta or Sesame oil may help strengthen the ear tissues.
Diet:
Avoid cold, dry, or heavy foods, as they can aggravate Vata and affect the ear’s function.
Consume warm, nourishing, and grounding foods, with a focus on ghee and healthy fats to support nervous tissue.
Lifestyle:
Protect ears from loud sounds, avoid stress, and practice relaxation techniques to balance the doshas.
For chronic conditions, this treatment might take some time, and consistency is key. I recommend consulting with an Ayurvedic specialist for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition.

For sensorineural hearing loss, Ayurveda focuses on rejuvenating the auditory system by balancing the doshas, especially Vata, which governs nerve function and sensory perception. Treatments typically include herbal formulations that promote circulation and support nerve health, such as Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Shankhapushpi. Panchakarma therapies, particularly Shirodhara and Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oils), can help nourish the brain and nervous system. Diet plays an important role in managing the condition, with recommendations to avoid excessive exposure to loud noises and to consume foods that support nerve health, like warm, grounding foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Since your condition has been ongoing for 20 years, treatment may require consistent therapy over an extended period to improve symptoms. It’s also advisable to consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatments, as they can assess your specific condition and constitution to tailor a comprehensive plan.

For sensorineural hearing loss, especially when it's been around for 20 years, Ayurveda might not reverse it entirely because it generally results from damage to the inner ear or neural pathways. But we can look at ways to manage it better, yeah.
First things first, understanding your prakriti or natural constitution (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) might help tailor the management for you. Generally speaking, Vata imbalance is often a culprit in hearing issues. So, calming Vata could be beneficial.
Start with your daily routine. Incorporate grounding activities like oil massages (Abhyanga). Sesame oil is pretty good for calming Vata. Warm some oil, massage it gently over your body, and shower after an hour. I would suggest doing this every morning if possible.
Herbal remedies also play a role. Try adding Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Bala to your regimen, as they help nourish the nervous system. You can find them as powders or capsules—take as directed on the package or consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner for exact dosages.
Diet-wise, avoid excessively cold or dry foods. Warm, oily, and mildly spicy food tend to balance Vata. Cooked vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds can become a regular part of your meals. Sip warm ginger tea with your meals to support digestion, since agni (digestive fire) is crucial in processing nutrients.
Practices like pranayama can help with circulation and energy flow. Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) done for 10-15 minutes daily can sometimes make a profound difference.
While Ayurveda offers great support, in case of severe hearing loss, it's important to be open to using hearing aids or cochlear implants if recommended by a specialist. They can significantly improve quality of life. And hey, regular check-ups with an audiologist shouldn't be skipped!
