I can’t afford to do this 😔 goodbye hearing
He was very lucky he was able to get treatment so fast.
Is it too late to start with a hyperbaric chamber and 20 days after hearing loss? This is the case with me so I hope it helps anyway. Thanks.
Hearing loss in my right ear back in April 2021. Did hyberbaric treatment right away and it didn’t help. Still deaf in my right ear.
I’m at 13 months with noise induced tinnitus. I’m at my 5th session of HBOT. Another session today. Praying the ringing stops.
Mannn. I didn’t find out about the options until it was too late.
My left ear is completely gone
Sadly, when I suddenly lost my hearing in my left ear in 2008 I couldn't convince my ENT to approve hyperbaric chamber. I did all of the other treatments and ended up with a BAHA hearing implant. To this day, I become quite sad about losing my hearing. Now, I am losing my hearing in my right ear. I lost my hearing suddenly in my left so I was surprised to learn I was losing significant hearing (but not suddenly) in my "Good" ear. I really wish I had been able to try this therapy -- now I am probably a short time away from needing a full Cochlear implant.
I got oral steroids and injections right away. After 3 weeks, it got worse not better. Only then did my doctor refer me to hyperbaric for 20x 2 hour sessions (5 days a week). I’m on treatment 15. No improvement and now my eye sight is worse. They say the vision issue should resolve in 6 weeks after I stop treatments. I wish I started the hyperbaric therapy immediately upon the onset of my hearing loss. I still have 5 treatments left but am already scheduled for a BAHA consultation with almost no hope of recovery.
Hi, is this therapy alao recommended for chronic hearing loss due to old age?
