What Researchers Did
Researchers described two cases where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was used as an adjunctive treatment for sudden deafness (SD).
What They Found
Both patients, one with moderate mid-frequency hearing loss and another with moderate low-frequency hearing loss, received hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to conventional treatment. Following this adjunctive therapy, both patients experienced a full recovery of their hearing.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection.
Study Limitations
The primary limitation of this study is its case report design, which prevents generalization of the findings to a broader patient population.
