A SA227 pilot experienced a lightening strike during arrival. Lost comm procedures are complied with and a normal landing ensued; without any light signals from the Tower.

Narrative

Inbound I received a lightening strike on the nose; disabling all radios. Prior to the strike; I was in communication with Approach and had been given vectors to the intersection for a visual approach on Runway 35L. Assigned altitude was 15;000 FT. After the strike; I was able to hear myself on the intercom; side tone and squelch when activated; but was unable to hear ATC. Holding altitude and assigned heading; I checked all my avionic buses to find nothing amiss; afterward tried a variety of different frequencies (including company) to see if I could raise anyone. Failing to do so; I set my transponder to 7600 and began transmitting my intentions in the hope that I could be heard. As my last instructions were to proceed to the intersection for a 35L approach; I held altitude until I began receiving DME information from the 35L localizer. Checking for traffic (which appeared to be avoiding the airport) and light signals from the Tower (saw none) I proceeded to land the aircraft and taxi to cargo.
