Tinnitus – An Ayurvedic Wellbeing Approach
Supportive Care at Ayur Healthcare, Parramatta, Sydney
Understanding Tinnitus
Tinnitus refers to the perception of sound—such as ringing, buzzing, humming, or hissing—in the ears without an external source. It is a common condition that may occur intermittently or persist over time. While tinnitus itself is not a disease, it can significantly affect concentration, sleep quality, and emotional wellbeing.
Medical assessment by a GP, audiologist, or ENT specialist is essential to rule out underlying causes.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Tinnitus
In classical Ayurveda, tinnitus is described under conditions such as Karna Nada or Karna Kshweda, traditionally associated with imbalance of Vata dosha, often with involvement of Pitta. These concepts are part of traditional health understanding and do not replace modern medical diagnosis.
Ayurvedic care focuses on restoring balance through routine, nourishment, stress regulation, and supportive therapies.
Common Symptoms
Tinnitus may present as:
Ringing, buzzing, humming, or whistling sounds
Symptoms in one or both ears
Fluctuating intensity
Sleep disturbance
Difficulty concentrating
Increased stress or anxiety
Severity and perception vary widely between individuals.
Possible Contributing Factors
From both modern and Ayurvedic wellbeing perspectives, tinnitus may be associated with:
Prolonged exposure to loud noise
Age-related hearing changes
Stress and mental fatigue
Poor sleep patterns
Ear congestion or sinus discomfort
Irregular routines and nervous system strain
Identifying contributing factors is essential for supportive care.
Diet and Lifestyle Support (Ayurvedic Wellbeing Focus)
Ayurvedic lifestyle guidance may include:
Regular daily routines to support nervous system balance
Warm, freshly prepared meals
Adequate hydration
Limiting excessive caffeine, alcohol, and stimulants
Reducing screen exposure and loud noise
Gentle breathing practices and relaxation techniques
Diet and lifestyle recommendations are individualised and supportive in nature.
