Thanks for the info @Lane, I didn't realize you could get a home mHBOT units, fascinating. I'll research the units and their benefits, thanks again :)

Out of curiosity, @Lane - where did you buy the mHBOT chamber, and how much was it?

Can buying an oxygen tube and inhaling it daily mimic some of the mHBOT benefits?

...on a wide scale. But I've come to believe it can work very well for situations where you would objectively think it might not. I had a home mHBOT unit (with the "m" standing for mild), and was able to use it 3-4x/week for over a year. It eventually got burned in a house fire. During the time...

Currently undertaking mHBOT session 3.

...I'd have to say I did pretty well, though it was difficult. Having that experience, plus more recently the experience of being able to do mHBOT daily, I can say with a pretty high degree of confidence that my clonazepam withdrawal would have likely been far easier had I had access to mHBOT...

Currently undertaking my 6th mHBOT session.

Currently undertaking mHBOT session number 5.

Currently on mHBOT session number 4! 3 left to go.

Thanks so much Lane - I will look into MHBOT chamber. :-)

7th mHBOT session, it should be the last unless I book extras.

...-- So sorry to hear how difficult things have gotten for you. In case you're interested, I've posted fairly extensively on how a home mHBOT I purchased (for $7,000) has been a godsend for me. Immediately upon using it, my sleep improved signficantly, and I was able to get my brain and...

...allowed me to sleep. Even though I only took 1/4 tablet, I was able to get several hours of sleep that first night. I've since discovered mHBOT helps immensely, much more so than codeine. When I first got into an HBOT chamber two months after tinnitus onset, I almost cried at about the 30...

Hey! Whats an mHBOT? I googled it and it says it's a hyperbaric chamber? I'm probably incorrect.

Hi Lane, Thanks for this info, I will check it out. Getting a good night sleep is one of my main priorities. Simon

Hi @Revvy, Amitriptyline is known to cause or exacerbate tinnitus. I've found mHBOT to be the best thing I've ever done to improve my sleep, and I'd been searching for solutions for many, many years. In some areas, home mHBOT chambers can be leased for about $500-$600 / month. -- All the Best...

Hi Lane, what is the pressure in your mHBOT unit? What is the investment? Regards, Jan

I bought one of the least expensive models on the market, but also has a reputation for being dependable. It was a brand called "Summit to Sea". I got the large size, called "the Dive". With an additional $300-400 for a "silencer", I think it now runs around $9-10K or so. If I buy another...

Regarding my above post: -- For perspective, I found the mHBOT be as much as 2-3x more helpful than the Alpha-Stim. And the Alpha-Stim was very helpful.

Hi @Pauli -- I had a variety of experiences with my tinnitus while doing mHBOT. There were times when it slightly increased it for up to a couple hours, times when it stayed the same, and other times when it seemed to soften it somewhat. It often "seemed" a wash as far as the tinnitus went when...

...are even more expensive. If you think about 10 sessions costing $3,000, that same amount of money would be about half of what you could a home mHBOT unit for. If you were strongly inclined to go forward with HBOT, it seems purchasing a home unit might be a viable option. I've heard they...

...are able to do it much quicker, and without significant withdrawal symptoms. I think having extra support during a withdrawal process, such as mHBOT, microcurrent therapy, etc. could make a big difference in one's experience. Becoming familiar with various supplements that will help calm...

mHBOT does more for my sleep quality than anything else I've tried in the past 20 years. -- Best!

...on the middle ear muscles, so the trigeminal nerve irritated the somatosensory system in the cochlear nucleus, which is in the brainstem, isn't it? So in my case everything started in the DCN, not the inner ear. I went to 20 sessions of mHBOT but maybe it was too late after more than 2 years.

Hey @Pianist_Will -- With daily (home) mHBOT use, I'm now currently sleeping better than I have in 20-30 years, and am able to completely relax. My tinnitus volume is decreased by about 10-20%, but its impact on my brain and nervous system is reduced by probably 75% or more. In just the past...

Are you renting it by the month? How much does this cost? Where do you get the oxygen? How much is it? Do you live in the United States?

Hey Lane, what home HBOT unit do you recommend? As someone who is still stuck in the fight or flight as of right now I'm highly interested in this especially since I'm attempting to limit my benzo use moving forward.

Good luck with this @Mathieulh. -- Just to mention, I've noticed there are some businesses in the U.S. that rent out mHBOT chambers by the month for approx. $600 or so. If this goes well, you may want to see if there's any rentals available in Paris. Could save you plenty of money, and be far...

...it was continually rattling my brain and neurological system. The best thing I've done for sleep improvement and neurological resiliency is mHBOT. With daily (home) mHBOT use, I'm now currently sleeping better than I have in 20-30 years, and am able to completely relax. My tinnitus volume...

@Lane And I know, oxygen drops don't hold a candle to the saturation / penetration of a mHBOT machine, not even close, but you have me thinking about oxygen again. I might even get myself one of those fingertip meters.

Don't know if you've seen me mention it, but getting a home mHBOT unit was absolutely miraculous for my sleep.

I’ve read about bad experiences with HBOT on here and I am definitely worried about the potential risks. However, I am so desperate at this point that I am willing to try anything hoping for a bit of relief. I will keep you posted. Thanks.

I don't see myself making large commitment to HBOT even though a home unit would save some money. The results of most of the studies I read are inconclusive and I'm worried about the long terms side effects. The first treatment was at 2 ATM and the next would be at 2.4 ATM. I may try another...

Hi @Artemis2K -- I bought an mHBOT (mild HBOT) chamber that came with a 30-day money back guarantee on it. I thought if I didn't want to keep it, the $120 I had to pay to ship it back would be worth it. I ended up keeping it, because I felt so much better doing 3-4 sessions a week. It ended...

...headed, and think there's a good chance that's the result of the cumultiave effect over the past few months. It's actually illegal to sell a mHBOT chamber that goes beyond mild, which is 1.3 ATM. So all the units that people buy for themselves, or the units that are often found in...

Hi, It has been 37 days since I got tinnitus with hearing loss after a concert. Do you think that I should do HBOT?

...it's rare. It is also likely that depending on the underlying cause/condition, people may react differently. There is also places offering mHBOT which could likely be safer due to less pressure. I spoke to a friend who is a diver and says that HBOT is pretty prevalent in Italy so I'm not...

...these days, I'm starting to focus on how I might swing some financing to get a home HBOT unit, which would be considered "mild" HBOT (mHBOT). mHBOT is done at lower pressures than the regular ones you get at a professional setting, but for somebody needing long-term use, it's actually...

...about any situation that involves brain dysfunction, which is why I think it has potential for tinnitus. Having done both the Alpha-Stim and mHBOT, I would rate the mHBOT as more effective for overall relaxation and shoring up of the neurological system. I think the two combined could be...

@Lane Thank you for the advice. I've never heard of mHBOT before but will read up on it. Also, you made me realize maybe I just have to deal with poor sleep at this point until my fear/anxiety reaction to T comes down. I don't think I could function on 30 min. a night, though!

...definitely NOT placebo, I went to my 5th session yesterday, today I can almost hear silence, in fact I can only hear my tinnitus when using earmuffs or earplugs right now. I don't even hear it in a silent room. I hope this improvement is permanent, I still have 2 mHBOT sessions booked and...

Hi @nicole m, I use melatonin, and it helps a lot. But nothing works better for me than daily mHBOT (I have a home unit). -- I hope you can find something that helps you soon...

Wow @Lane that's a long time. How much were you taking? I hear great things about the mHBOT, can you show us a picture of the one you have and model?? @GLJ How are you doing? Once

Is a HBOT chamber loud? I have read there are several types of chambers; what kind of chamber is it? Has it helped your hearing?

Here you go, undertaking my first mHBOT session. It's only 1.3ATA for 90 minutes right now, but there is only one 2.0ATA hospital grade HBOT in the entire Paris area (which, if you ask me, is a travesty), so unless I happen to be dying and requiring emergency care, I am not getting in it.

...what I learned from actual experience. I'm somewhat hesitant to answer, as I don't consider myself an "expert" on HBOT, though I had my own mHBOT chamber for over a year, and did about 200-300 sessions in total. I bought my chamber because I had done a handful in a clinical setting, and...

...about the Alpha Stim device? Wondering if it can be used in conjunction to relieve anxiety with my medication (Grandaxin). Also what model MHBOT do you have for home use? This probably isn’t realistic for me but I was curious based on your posts. I’m on LDN so unfortunately poppy seeds will...

...liked) was one called CELL FOOD. I've been meaning to give it a try again, and see if I notice as many benefits as I did before starting mHBOT. I'm curious whether things have changed things to the point where I don't notice as much difference. Re: those fingertip meters. When I went to a...

@Allan Mcmillan -- I have a bias toward HBOT, so I would encourage you to go for it if you have the opportunity. I have a home mHBOT, and use it 5-6x/week. My tinnitus/hyperacusis have only improved slightly in the past 6 months since starting it, but my ability to sleep and relax has improved...

A small update, there is definitely a change, right after I did my 4th mHBOT session today, I noticed my tinnitus has gone from moderate to mild. I do not know whether or not that is temporary at this point, but I would say it's a pretty significant improvement. I still have 3 sessions booked...

Lane, may I ask how much did it cost you to buy an mHBOT unit or perhaps you could give us a link?

I have a home mHBOT unit, and my understanding is that HBOT gets around some of the limitations of the body only having access to oxygen via RBCs. For example, lyme bacteria tend to hide out in joints, cartilage, teeth, etc., where's there's normally minimal blood flow. This keeps them away...

Hi @Arseny, I did 3 mHBOT sessions at 1.3 ATM at a local ND's office about 6 weeks after my initial onset of tinnitus. I then did a total of HBOT sessions starting at 2.0 ATM at a local clinic 8 weeks after my initial onset. The 2.0 ATM turned out to be too intense for me (and my ears), and...

...was from "hearing loss" or from swelling? I still am not sure what this fullness is. Also, did you do a hard chamber HBOT, the one that is a "solid" chamber, or did you mHBOT -mild/soft chamber aka one that inflates and has lower atmospheric pressure? Did you have the fullness in both ears?

...I want to taper off. Could getting an Alpha-Stim device help with this? I also suffer from chronic severe tinnitus. I wanted to try mHBOT a lot but my unknowing doctor back then said after the 2-month mark it will not help. I'm 3 years in so probably using it now wouldn't do much of a...

...route you took to achieve your success has many similarities to the route I'm currently treading. It will eventually include regular at home mHBOT sessions, among any number of other things that may help calm my brain and neurological system. A lot of effort may be required over a long...

Hi @Lane! Thanks for posting this information...glad to hear that you have found something that actually helps! Did you by chance get any assistance from your health insurance to purchase the HBOT? I will certainly look into this! Best to you!

You seem to be an expert on HBOT. What do you think of the risks in my above post? Thanks. https://uihc.org/health-topics/medical-risks-hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy
