Abstract

Now a days , Tinnitus is a common problem due to sound pollution , usage of ear phone , excessive talking on mobile phone and modern pub culture , etc. Tinnitus  is subjective type , can not heard by the observer ,   difficult to measure and treat . It is commonly felt inside the affected ear and rarely inside brain and described variously by the subject as harsh, roaring, hissing, whistling sound , etc . To study and  manage the intensity and pitch of the tinnitus, various studies have been carried out by matching the sound of the tinnitus with the sound generated out of a pure tone Audiometer. But nothing tangible has yet come out ,  but the patient feels discomfort due to nada . A 38 yrs old female patient with complaint of  karn nada in both ear ,  which disturbed her work and  unable to concentrate on her job . She was not satisfied by allopathic treatment so she came to my OPD. I have given shirodhara with yoganidra. Five sitting were given in between dhara , shiropichu was advised. Patient  completely  relived from karnnada . And advised to patient to avoid  overuse  ear phone and loud sound .
