Responding to the Adhan and Supplication After It

Explicitly established in Quran or Sahih Hadith as ruqyah/protection for this exact matter.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When the call to prayer is announced, Satan flees breaking wind loudly so that he cannot hear the call' (Sahih al-Bukhari 608, Sahih Muslim 389). Responding to the caller to prayer and reciting the supplication of Wasilah after the Adhan is a firmly established Sunnah practice that expels Satan and guarantees the Prophet's intercession (Sahih al-Bukhari 614).
Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ
Translation (EN)

O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and established prayer, grant Muhammad the Wasilah and virtue, and raise him to the praised status which You have promised him.

How to Perform / When to Recite

Listen attentively to the muezzin and repeat his words exactly as he says them, except when he says 'Hayya 'alas-salah' and 'Hayya 'alal-falah', say: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah'. After the adhan finishes, invoke blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and recite the supplication: 'Allahumma rabba hadhihid-da'watit-taammah...'

Important Safety Note: Ruqyah is a means of seeking Allah's protection and healing; it does not replace medical care. Never hang amulets or go to fortune-tellers/sorcerers.
