Hyperbaric Oxygenation in the Complex Treatment of Sensorineural Hearing Loss

The role of hearing is difficult to overestimate. Its decline or complete loss is a medical and social problem. Sensorineural hearing loss is one of the most serious diseases requiring comprehensive and timely therapy. Among the causes leading to the development of sensorineural hearing loss are the actions of infectious agents, toxins, the presence of concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic renal failure, impaired cerebral circulation, etc.), as well as the effects of traumatic factors (mechano-, acu-, vibro-, barotrauma, etc.). With all the variety of etiological factors, hemodynamic disorders recorded at an early stage in the vertebral-basilar basin play an essential pathogenetic role. Purpose: to establish the effectiveness of the use of HBO in the complex treatment of sensorineural hearing loss.
