Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Okay, thanks for all the advice. I think I'll book an HBOT session soon, though it's challenging with work. Has it helped anyone with ear fullness? Thanks.

In my opinion, you will just waste money.

Okay, I am willing to take the financial risk. I am just concerned that it might make things worse.

It might help in some cases, but it probably won't. Donating just 10% of what you'd spend on ineffective treatments to Tinnitus Quest could provide a much better return in the medium term. Spending money on scams and supporting charming charlatans not only harms you but also hurts the entire community.

Now, imagine if all the money wasted on these schemes had instead been invested in research.

Just a philosophical thought.

Update: I tried HBOT 1.5 times. The first session went well, but during the second session, they increased the pressure, and the oxygen compression system stopped working. I ended up lying there for about an hour while they tried to fix it.

Is it dangerous to just lie there during such a situation? The machine couldn't be repaired, so I'm heading home now. My left ear feels slightly more pressurized, but otherwise, I feel okay.

Has anyone experienced ear fullness and eye twitching after HBOT?

Apologies for the repeated posts, it's just my anxious nature. Thanks!

Hi @LulaLula, I'm sorry you had a bad experience during the second session. I never experienced eye twitching after any of the 20 sessions I had. If there was any fullness, it receded after a little while. I'd give it another few days at least.

I'm also a very anxious person, and I've found that twitching and fullness can both be triggered by it, both from my own experiences, and from the research and experiences of others online.

Okay, maybe the eye twitching is due to stress. I hope the ear fullness goes away soon. It's been a week now. Thank you for your answer; it's much appreciated.

I believe eye twitching can be a symptom of the extremely high dose of oxygen that you inhale. I believe it's nothing to worry about but best to discuss with your doctor.

Okay, thanks! I've had it for a week now.
