Background: Tinnitus from a Latin word for singing is the perception of sound in human ear in absence of corresponding external sounds. It can be perceived in one or both ears. Tinnitus is a clicking, swishing, whistling and hissing type of noise that seems to originate in ear or head. Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a symptom of some disease. Tinnitus can be correlated with Karnanada which is mentioned as a type of Karnarogas in various classical texts of Ayurveda. Materials and methods: In the present study a 27 years old male patient of Tinnitus was administered with Anutaila Nasya, Sarshapa Taila Karnapoorana and Ghrita Pana for 1 month. Result: Patient showed gradual improvement and reduction of the symptoms of Tinnitus in a month. Also the patient was advised to follow the Pathya Ahara Vihara and avoid the Apathya Ahara Vihara. Results were appreciable with approx 65% relief in chief complaint. Conclusion: In modern medicine there are various treatments for Tinnitus is available, few of them includes sedatives like benzodiazepine and antidepressant drugs which can have side effects, surgical section of cochlear nerve may be tried but have not helped much, so the Ayurvedic management was approached for cheap, easy, and non side effective treatment.
