Show Notes
A parent seeks information on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for their eleven-year-old son diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). While steroids and HBOT have shown some improvement, the family is looking for more data on HBOTs effectiveness in children. Most research focuses on adults, with limited case reports on children. A small Turkish study found mixed results, with half of the children fully recovering their hearing, a quarter seeing partial gains, and the last quarter staying the same. Experts advise consulting with an ear, nose, and throat doctor to discuss options and make informed decisions.
