There is constant shrill ringing sound in ears (feels like from inner ear) since few years. Though my hearing is fine.
No pain, pus, or other symptoms.
Is there anything in Ayurveda that can help?
Thanks

Thanks for explaining it clearly ð
What youâre describing is **very typical of chronic tinnitus** â and yes, **Ayurveda can help**, especially since your **hearing is still normal** (thatâs a very good sign).
Iâll explain **honestly** what can improve and what to expect.
---
## What this is (Ayurvedic understanding)
Constant shrill ringing without infection or hearing loss =
**Karna Nada / Karna Kshweda**
Root causes in Ayurveda:
* **Vata predominance** (most important)
* Mild **Pitta involvement** (shrill, high-pitched sound)
* Long-term stress, poor sleep, overthinking
* Past exposure to noise, anemia, neck stiffness, jaw tension
This is **functional**, not structural â so **manageable**.
---
## Can Ayurveda cure it completely?
âï¸ **Many patients get significant reduction** (60â80%)
âï¸ Some get complete silence
â ï¸ Chronic cases take **time and consistency**
Goal:
* Calm Vata
* Nourish nerve tissue
* Improve inner-ear circulation
---
## Best Ayurvedic Treatment (SAFE & STANDARD)
### ð¿ 1ï¸â£ **Karna Purana (ear oiling) â MOST IMPORTANT**
Use **warm ***Taila or ***Taila**
**How:**
* 3â4 drops in each ear
* At night
* Lie on side 5 min each
* **Daily or at least 5 days/week**
This alone helps many people.
---
### ð¿ 2ï¸â£ *******
* 1 tablet **twice daily after meals**
Calms Vata, reduces nerve hypersensitivity.
---
### ð¿ 3ï¸â£ ******Vati**
* 1 tablet **twice daily after meals**
Supports auditory nerve & mind.
---
### ð¿ 4ï¸â£ *****Kwath** (or capsules if decoction not possible)
* 15 ml twice daily **before food**
* If capsules: as per label
Reduces Vata from neck & head region.
---
## Duration
â³ **8â12 weeks minimum**
Improvement is usually:
* Gradual
* Less intensity
* Less awareness of sound
* Better sleep
---
## VERY IMPORTANT lifestyle tips (often ignored)
### â Avoid
* Earphones / loud noise
* Excess tea / coffee
* Late nights
* Fasting
### â Do
* Warm oil head massage 2â3Ã/week
* Gentle neck stretching
* Regular sleep timing
---
## When to get further tests
If not done already, **at least once**:
* Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)
* Hb level (anemia worsens tinnitus)
* Thyroid profile (if fatigue present)
---
## Final reassurance ð¿
Because:
* No hearing loss
* No discharge or pain
* Long-standing but stable
ð This is **very suitable for Ayurvedic management**.
If you want, tell me:
* Any neck pain or jaw clenching?
* Sleep quality?
* Anxiety / stress level?
I can **refine the plan specifically for you** ð¸

Dashmool kwath – Vāta pacifying
Bilva tail / Kshirabala 101 – useful in chronic cases
2. Karna Purana (Ear Oil Therapy) ⭐ Most important

Do under guidance, especially if eardrum status is unknown
3. Panchakarma Therapies (Highly effective)

Basti therapy – in chronic Vāta disorders
🧘 Yoga & Lifestyle

🍽️ Dietary Advice
✅ Warm, unctuous foods
❌ Avoid dry, cold, excessive tea/coffee
❌ Avoid fasting & late nights
⚠️ When to be cautious
If tinnitus is sudden, unilateral, or with hearing loss/vertigo, rule out ENT causes first.
If associated with high BP, anemia, cervical issues, treat the root cause.
If you want, I can:
Suggest a customized Ayurvedic prescription
Correlate tinnitus with BP / anxiety / cervical spondylosis
Provide a 7-day treatment protocol
Just tell me 🌿
Namastey
Considering your age and nature of disease, this could be due to auditory nerve involvement which usually considered as Vata dosha disorder. Also the hygiene of your ear canal along either any past history of chronic cold or cough should be checked.
Usually nutritional deficiency is the cause behind
And that’s why various Panchakarma treatments like karnapooran, abhyanga etc are used for it’s management.
Next Steps
You can consult for proper treatment and care.
Get yourself checked for vitamin B12 levels.
Health Tips
And if found deficient, start vitamin B12 supplements.
Thank you
In Ayurveda , tinnitus is considered a Vata-dominant disorder
