The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in treating tinnitus is still subject to further research and confirmation in clinical practice. Tinnitus may be associated with diseases such as sudden deafness, acoustic neuroma, and senile deafness. Common triggers of tinnitus are brain fatigue, stress and poor rest, and some tinnitus is caused by abnormalities in the auditory system.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which increases the concentration of oxygen in the environment, leading to slower respiration and a slower heart rate, thereby reducing circulatory stress and boosting metabolism, does not target the cause of tinnitus, but it may be an aid to the dysfunctional state of neural tissues caused by oxygen deprivation.
When tinnitus occurs with sudden deafness, it can be treated with medications such as glucocorticoids and lidocaine; tinnitus symptoms caused by an acoustic neuroma usually require surgical intervention; and tinnitus symptoms accompanying senile deafness are most often treated by the use of hearing aids to improve hearing and mask the tinnitus.
If there is no such situation, it may be due to brain fatigue, stress induced neuroendocrine disorders, the need to ensure sleep, to correct the state of tension, anxiety, anti-anxiety drugs can be taken to avoid anxiety, as far as possible to divert attention from tinnitus, tinnitus symptoms can be reduced and subsided.
When suffering from tinnitus, need to actively seek medical attention to clarify the diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions for the cause of the disease and symptoms of the choice of comprehensive laryngeal tumor. Before being recommended to use hyperbaric oxygen therapy, should fully understand its therapeutic purpose and role, to avoid causing adverse reactions.
