Dear Doctors: I've been diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. None of the doctors I've seen can tell me why it happened. My understanding is that hyperbaric therapy is a possible treatment. What does that entail, and who would I approach for that kind of...
In this Research Rundown we focus once again on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for treatment of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL). This research is a bit different from Episode 12, as this study discusses HBOT in combination with an oral steroid to treat SSHL....
In this Research Rundown we focus on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for treatment of Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Highlights: One of the things we know about sudden hearing loss is that the FDA recognized this as a cleared indication that clearly showed...
Abstract: Acute acoustic trauma (AAT) is a sensorineural hearing impairment due to exposure to an intense impulse noise which causes cochlear hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) could provide an adequate oxygen supply. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness...
Abstract: Importance Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) causes substantial disease burden for both individuals and socioeconomic aspects. The benefit of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in addition to standard medical therapy (MT) for idiopathic SSNHL has been...
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: After the suicide bombings in Brussels on March 22, 2016, many victims consulted our emergency department with otologic symptoms. The aim of this study was to report the otologic morbidity and outcome after acute acoustic trauma in these patients....
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of simultaneous steroid and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with severe to profound idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), which has a poor prognosis. Sixty patients diagnosed with...
Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). An Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane search were utilised to identify various clinical trials on the treatment of ISSHL....
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy used as a supplement to the first-line medical treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We tested 68 patients suffering from SSNHL within seven days of hearing loss: 21 patients...
