It is very nice that you have chosen yoga for enhancing your hearing. But just to be on the safer side consult your doctor before doing any exercises. If your doctor says its fine for you to start your exercises then you can go ahead with it. Our hearing depends on the healthy function of the nerves and yoga helps to keep these nerves clear and healthy free from any obstruction. Thus it helps to improve our hearing and eyesight as well. To get the best results from your yoga practice to boost your hearing you should wake up early in the morning and when it is still quiet and the birds are still waking up. Start with practicing Dhyana or meditation but you can make a slight modification to it. You can start by concentrating on the sound of your breathing first and then move on to other sounds around you like the sounds around your house. Next try and focus on the sounds that you hear outside your house such as the sound of the car or bird passing by and then move on further to other distant sounds. When you do this try and focus on that particular sound and then slowly move back to concentrating on the sounds near you, and finally to the sound of your breathing. This will increase your hearing range to a great extent. Besides this you can practice pranayama or the breathing exercises as these will greatly help to clear the blockages and ensure smooth circulation through your nerves to all the vital organs in your body thus boosting their health. You can practice Bhastrika or the bellows where you take deep breaths and then breathe out fully. Anulom Vilom or alternate nostril breathing, which involves breathing alternatively through each nostril deeply into your lungs. Kapalbhati or the breath of fire, which is considered extremely beneficial for the brain and neurological system. It concentrates more on breathing out forcefully then breathing in and is great to improve your hearing and eyesight. Bahya pranayama or retaining the air outside the body, which involves staying without breathing for a few moments.
Udgeeth or the chanting of Om where you breathe in deeply and then chant Om for as long as you can in the same breath. You can do this for 10 to 15 minutes as it is considered excellent for improving concentration and boosting your memory.
