title: [Clinical analysis of using hyperbaric oxygen comprehensive therapy for the treatment of 110 cases noise induced deafness].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical effects of using hyperbaric oxygen comprehensive therapy for the treatment of noise induced deafness.
  
  
  METHODS
  From May 2009 to April 2012 in our hospital 220 cases of noise induced deafness patients were chosen and they were all construction workers; According to different treatments all patients were divided into the control group (110 cases) only having hyperbaric oxygen treatment and the treatment group (110 cases) using hyperbaric oxygen comprehensive therapy, including control group simply by. Hearing improvements of the two groups were recorded and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The cure rate of the comprehensive therapy group was 53.6%which was higher than that of the control group 38.2% (χ(2) = 5.290, P < 5.290), while the total effective rate of the comprehensive therapy group was 79.1%which was also significantly higher than that of the control group 67.3% (χ(2) = 3.914, P < 0.05). After two courses of comprehensive treatment the cure rate and total effective rate were 47.3%and 73.6%respectively, while after four courses of comprehensive treatment group the cure rate and total effective rate turned to be 60.9% and 84.5% respectively, which had significant difference (χ(2) values were 4.118 and 3.958, P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The cure rate and total effective rate of the comprehensive therapy group are higher than the simple hyperbaric oxygen treatment group, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion in the future.
