        abstract = {Karna Badhirya (hearing impairment) is a common ear ailment described in Ayurveda, often associated with Vata dosha vitiation. One of the most frequent causes of conductive hearing loss is cerumen impaction (Karna mala sangraha). This single case study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Karnapuran with Bilwadi Taila in the management of Karna Badhirya diagnosed through otoscopy. A 25-year-old female presented with mild conductive hearing loss for 3 months and tinnitus for 1 month. Karnapuran with Bilwadi Taila was administered for 30 minutes daily for 7 days. Post-treatment otoscopy showed a clear ear canal, and the patient’s hearing was completely restored. The study indicates that Karnapuran is an effective, safe, and simple therapy for managing Karna Badhirya caused by cerumen impaction.},
