RESUMEN
The emergence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) has resulted in an unprecedented global health crisis. Tinnitus is the most commonly reported symptom when the COVID-19 impacts the auditory-vestibular system. There are a variety of management strategies for amelioration of tinnitus including Yoga. The present review deals with three issues: one, occurrence of tinnitus in persons affected by COVID-19; two, the impact of COVID-19 situation on tinnitus severity; and three, the potential of Yoga as an intervention strategy. Literature search was carried out through search engines like PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and Google scholar using keywords like 'tinnitus', 'COVID-19' and 'Yoga'. The relevant studies were identified and the findings summarized in a narrative manner. Based on the evidence obtained in the present review, the authors propose that yoga can be used as an effective strategy in overcoming the psychosocial factors associated with COVID-19 particularly in this pandemic and related lockdown situation. It is also proposed here that teleyoga can serve as a practical, feasible and safe mode for providing therapeutic services for tinnitus-related issues particularly in the present pandemic situation.
