Abstract
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external auditory stimulus and commonly presents as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or humming sensations. Tinnitus is a prevalent otological complaint, affecting approximately 10–15% of the adult population worldwide. It affects quality of life by disturbing sleep, concentration, emotional stability, and social functioning. Conventional medical management often focuses on symptom control rather than cure, highlighting the need for complementary approaches. Yoga and mind–body interventions have gained increasing attention due to their role in reducing stress, improving neural regulation, and enhancing psychological resilience. This article explores the impact of yoga and mental health on tinnitus through modern scientific mechanisms and traditional yogic concepts, emphasising their therapeutic potential as adjunctive management strategies.
