| description | Tinnitus is a sensation of noise in the absence of an internal or external source often accompanied by hearing loss. A 45-year-old male patient visited our hospital outpatient department due to tinnitus in the left ear for the past 2 months and received integrated yoga and naturopathy treatments for 10 days. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) severity scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were assessed before starting interventions and on the 10th day. The severity of the tinnitus was reduced; THI scores decreased from Grade 3 (moderate) to Grade 2 (mild) and the VAS score for disturbed sleep reduced from 8 to 4.1. This case study is an effort to elicit the impact of yoga and naturopathy on managing tinnitus. Despite significant findings in this case, further studies with a larger sample size are required to manage tinnitus effectively with yoga and the naturopathy system of medicine. |
