Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss, more commonly known as sudden deafness, is an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing. It typically occurs in one ear and can happen either at once, over a span of a few hours, or over several days.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used to treat idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss by increasing blood flow and transporting more oxygen to the inner ear and nerve cells. Doing so can help reduce swelling, promote stem cell growth, and aid in fighting bacteria and infections.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a covered condition approved by the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS), and not the FDA.

HBOT for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

HBOT benefits patients experiencing sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the following ways:

  • Increases oxygen tension in the blood and tissues and dissolves extra oxygen in the blood plasma to better supply the structures, fluids, and nerves of the inner ear
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
  • Reduces risk of infection

Case Study: Improvement in Hearing after Sudden Deafness

In this case, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helped a patient with sudden hearing loss regain hearing and decrease symptoms of fullness and tinnitus.
