please inform me which Pose / Asan can help a person to minimise EAR RINGING (TINNITUS) problem.
Tinnitus can be described as an ailment that can cause you to hear a ringing sound. It is a very common problem, affecting more than 20% of the people living in the US. Contrary to what many people believe, it is not a condition, but rather a symptom of an underlying condition, such as a circulatory system disorder, an ear injury or hearing loss because of progressing age. Though tinnitus is bothersome, it is rarely serious and can be easily treated, using simple home remedies and techniques. Several people also use Yoga poses for treating tinnitus. One of the most effective techniques in yoga for tinnitus is the Pranayama or the deep breathing technique. For best results, Pranayama (breathing exercises) should be practiced twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Some of the other yoga poses that are good for improving hearing and the functioning of the ears include:
- Plough Pose (Halasana)
- Garland Pose (Malasana)
- Corpse Pose (Savasana)
- Easy Pose (Sukhasana)
- Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

- Tree Pose (Vriskhasana)
Certain jaw exercises are also very helpful in alleviating tinnitus. However, before practicing any tinnitus exercise, it is important for you to check with a doctor and get an approval.
