Within the science of Ayurveda, Tinnitus is considered as a Vataja disorder and can, therefore, be correlated with karnanada or Karna Sweda.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in one or both ears. The term “tinnitus” derives from the Latin word tinnire, meaning to ring. It is often referred to as “ringing in the ears”. This ringing can be intermittent or constant with single or multiple tones and its perceived volume can range from subtle to shattering.

Tinnitus is a symptom (and not a disease) and therefore reflects an underlying abnormality. The commonly affected individuals are academics, business people, and “intellectuals,” in sedentary occupations although, it can affect anyone of either sex and of any age group.
