Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

What is HBOT?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an advanced medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a specially designed pressurized chamber (2–3 ATA).

This increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively into blood plasma, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid—leading to:

- Enhanced tissue oxygenation
- Accelerated healing
- Improved cellular recovery

ENT Indications for HBOT

1. Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL)

- Improves oxygen supply to the cochlea
- Enhances inner ear perfusion and hair cell survival
- Most effective when started early (within 2 weeks)
- Works best when combined with steroid therapy
- Proven to improve hearing recovery rates

2. Idiopathic Sudden Deafness

- Beneficial in moderate to severe cases
- Helps recover hearing when conventional treatments fail

3. Tinnitus (Selected Cases)

- Effective in cases linked to cochlear ischemia
- Early treatment yields better outcomes

4. Chronic Refractory Otitis Media

- Reduces chronic inflammation
- Improves post-surgical graft uptake
- Helps control persistent infections

5. Osteoradionecrosis (Temporal Bone / Skull Base)

- Enhances tissue vascularity and oxygenation
- Promotes new blood vessel formation
- Improves healing after radiation therapy
- Useful before and after surgery

6. Malignant (Necrotizing) Otitis Externa

- Adjunct to IV antibiotic therapy
- Improves oxygen delivery to infected bone
- Particularly beneficial in diabetic and immunocompromised patients

7. Post-Surgical Healing & Flap Compromise

- Enhances graft survival
- Speeds up healing in oxygen-deficient tissues

Why Choose HBOT?

- Non-invasive and safe
- Scientifically proven adjunct therapy
- Enhances natural healing mechanisms
- Improves treatment outcomes in difficult ENT conditions
