Ear is considered as one of the navadwars in ayurveda that provide two main functions i.e. hearing (detects and analyzes sound by transduction) and equilibrium (maintain the sense of balance). There are various diseases affecting the ears. Badhirya is one mentioned in ancient text. Acharya Sushrata has mentioned it as a disease entity under 28 Karnarogas, Acharya Charak included it under the 80 nanatmaja vatavikaras, Acharya Vagbhatta has described Badhirya under 25 karnarogas.

The effected person is unable to hear the voice made in the surrounding partially or completely depending on the intensity of the vitiation of the particulars body humors.
