[Barotherapy and interval hypoxic training in the treatment of sensorineural deafness].
Barotherapy or normoxic therapeutic compression is a novel technique based on the exposure of the patients to an air and oxygen mixture in combination with antioxidants under slightly elevated pressure in the hyperbaric chamber. The efficiency of this method was compared with that of different therapeutic modalities in a group of 105 patients suffering sensorineural deafness. Barotherapy was given to 30 patients, 28 were offered interval hypoxic training, and 47 comprised the control group. Results of the study were used to develop criteria for the selection of patients to be treated with barotherapy and interval hypoxic training.
