Age‑related Hearing Loss (Presbycusis) — Integrative Ayurveda

Overview

Age‑related hearing loss (also called presbycusis) typically starts with difficulty hearing high‑pitched sounds and understanding speech in noisy places. Other contributors include long‑term noise exposure, certain medicines, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

When to seek care: sudden hearing loss in one ear, ear pain/discharge, spinning vertigo, or ringing that starts after new medications—please seek medical attention promptly.

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Classical Ayurveda discusses healthy ageing and sensory support under Rasayana—measures that aim to promote longevity and vitality. Supportive strategies emphasise balanced routines, gentle nourishment, and calming practices alongside modern hearing care.

Regular routine: adequate sleep, stress reduction, and mindful meals.
Warm, light, easy‑to‑digest foods; limit excessive salt and very oily, heavy meals.
Any ear oils or herbal preparations should be used only under clinician guidance to avoid ear‑canal/ear‑drum risks.

Ayurvedic measures are complementary. Device fitting (hearing aids), tests (audiogram/tympanometry), and medical therapy are directed by ENT/audiology teams.

Hearing‑care Tips

Get a baseline hearing test; repeat as advised.
Use hearing protection in loud environments; keep TV/earphone volumes moderate.
Face the speaker, use good lighting, and reduce background noise during conversations.
Manage blood pressure, sugars, and cholesterol as advised by your clinician.

Some Home Remedies (Comfort)

Gentle neck/shoulder mobility work and relaxation may reduce listening strain.
Warm water sips and balanced meals can support overall well‑being.

Avoid inserting liquids/herbs into the ear without professional advice.
