Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Woke up to sudden silence or ringing in one ear? Acting quickly with hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support hearing recovery.
How It Works
The inner ear is a delicate sensory organ that relies on high oxygen levels. When inflammation or microvascular compromise reduces oxygen delivery, hearing function drops. HBOT delivers high-concentration oxygen directly to cochlear tissues, reducing edema and supporting sensory hair cell recovery before permanent cellular damage occurs.
What to Expect
You'll relax in our comfortable chamber for about 90 minutes a day. A standard clinical protocol is typically 20 sessions. Time is essential—clinical evidence shows treatment is most beneficial when started within 14 to 30 days of symptom onset. Call our clinic to schedule an intake.
The Results
Timely intervention is key. Studies demonstrate that patients who receive HBOT alongside oral steroids within the early onset window show significantly higher rates of hearing recovery compared to steroids alone.
