Hyperbaric chamber

(1/1)

mjinsb:
When I first lost 60% of my hearing I did a series of treatments of hyperbaric chamber along with ozone treatments to my ears. I regained 40% of my hearing back. Two months later when I finally had an MRI, the acoustic neuroma was found. I have surgery scheduled in April. I'm wondering if anyone has done the hyperbaric chamber both as preparation for surgery and post surgery to aid in healing and reduce inflammation. I'm a huge fan since I believe it's what gave me back most my hearing.

gbly:
I have not been fortunate enough to have access to a HC, but I have heard many people say they recommend it too.  I would be interested in what you decide and how it all goes.
When is your surgery?

Hi mjinsb!

I was initially scheduled to have hyperbaric chamber treatments, but my ENT said that research showed that the HC treatments were only effective if started within a certain timeframe from the initial diagnosis of the acoustic neuroma.  I have not confirmed that to be true, but it's the reason why my ENT cancelled my hyperbaric chamber treatments.

I am curious what others have experienced with hyperbaric chamber treatments before or after surgery.
