Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may offer effective treatment for patients suffering from hearing loss. This high-pressure oxygen therapy may be beneficial in treating sudden deafness, also known as a sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).

‘Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may offer effective treatment for patients suffering from sudden hearing loss.’
Sudden deafness, also known as a sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), is a hearing loss that happens within a few days and often has no identifiable cause. This study combined the results of 19 studies, including three randomized clinical trials, and suggests a greater benefit of adding the hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be associated with those patients who have severe to profound hearing loss and who failed to recover after standard medical treatment.
A limitation of this study is that because a substantial number of patients with SSNHL will spontaneously recover, the benefits of treatment may not have been accurately evaluated.
Simple Treatment can Help Minimize Hearing Loss
Understanding the mechanism of how noise-induced hearing loss happens can help develop new treatment methods. A simple injection of a salt- or a sugar-based solution into the middle ear can minimize hearing loss.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Diabetic Foot Promotes Wound Healing
If people with a diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in addition to conventional treatment, this can promote wound healing.
