Abstract

The high burden of deafness globally and in India is largely preventable and avoidable. The prevalence of deafness in Southeast Asia ranges from 4.6% to 8.8%. In India, 63 million people (6.3%) suffer from significant auditory loss. In Ayurveda we get many references of Karna, Karna is one among Pancha Jnanendriya and predominance of Akasha Mahabhuta, perceives Shabda. Asatmyendriyartha Samyoga of Indriya i.e. Ayoga, Atiyoga and Mithya Yoga of Srotrendriya causes Roga. Karna Shoola, Karna Nada, Karna Kshweda, Badhiryam are some diseases caused by Asatmyendriyartha Samyoga. Ayurvedic system of medicine gives more importance to preventive measures. Identifying (early screening) the Nidana and Nidana Parivarjana plays the key role in preventing most of the Karna Rogas. In all Karna Rogas Vata Prakopa to be the chief cause, hence Ghrutapana is told as Rasayana.
