Abstract: Ear disorders have a wide range of sharing in a load of global illnesses, and their incidences with a continuous hike and difficulty can be contributed to the obscure understanding of the causative agents, including their action mechanisms in the generation of ear pathology. Karna roga has been well theorized in all the authoritative textbooks. Nidana is the first component of ‘Trisutra’ and is not only the triggering factor but also the initial diagnostic tool, which help learn the course of disease progression. Relevant content of the selected topic was obtained from classics, journals and online search portals for a judicious review. The Acharya in Shalakya has provided an ample account of Karna roga nidana, including their count, causative factors and pathogenesis, which can be compared with their recent counterparts and interpreted in modern ways for a clearer perspective of ear disorders.
