Abstract	Badhirya is a common ear disorder described in Ayurveda, mainly caused by vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas leading to impaired hearing. In modern medicine, it closely resembles Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL), a condition caused by damage to cochlear hair cells or auditory neural pathways. Globally, over 430 million people suffer from disabling hearing loss, and the number is projected to reach 700 million by 2050. Karna Purana, the instillation of medicated liquid into the ear, is an important local therapy described in Ayurveda for ear disorders. Shringaveradi Arka, possessing Vata-Kaphahara properties, is indicated in the management of Badhirya. Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Shringaveradi Arka Karna Purana in the management of Badhirya (Sensorineural Hearing Loss).
