Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2004High pressure oxygen container
Is there anyone who has tried a kind of therapy seating inside a metal container of 'high pressure oxygen' for the purpose of treating T? FP >Is there anyone who has tried a kind of therapy seating inside a metal >container of 'high pressure oxygen' for the purpose of treating T? > >FP ................. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment *in theory* might be effective if initiated within 48-72 hours after the onset of tinnitus. *In actuality* it has never been shown to be effective in any controlled trials. smn Good for tinnitus due to refractory anaerobics infections however.

It was sarcasm which most likely served only my own purposes. Though HBO is most efffective for anerobic infections, the latter have nothing to do with tinnitus. PaulS >Sorry.

There was a study of HBOT in Texas for Lyme disease, and many folks have benefited from it, anecdotally, in addition to the study's findings. Since many, if not most, TBD patients report tinnitus, HBOT may be a useful therapy for some T, by helping to address their infections.

My ENT doctor is finally convinced that the red spot shown on the 'brain blood flow chart' is what gives rise to my tinnitus. Prior to swtiching to diurectics, I used a calcium channel blocker which served as a blood vessel dilator to take care of that. Once I switched to diurectics, there was no more dilator but instead thicker blood. Now, a combination of Plendil, beta-blocker and flunarizine hydrochloride seems to have kept it under control. FP ================================ > smn Hyperbaric oxygen has been tried. The German writers report "nice" results. US writers haven't reported consistently good results. Although I am quite familiar with Hyperbaric Oxygen I don't feel that the evidence is sufficient to support using it. Occasionally some patients request it and do get it but the results have not been encouraging. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com > Hyperbaric oxygen has been tried.

My doctor asked me to go for it but i am afraid of being contained for 2 hours. So he is going to give me some injection of 'high oxygen liquid' as an alternative. By the way, i think i have found out the root cause of my T. It comes from a patch of poor blood circulation on the left side of my brain. When I was using calcium channel blocker, the vessels were dilated. But the moment when i went into diurectics, the dilation effect is no longer there or with the same impact. My condition has improved somewhat after i go back to calcium channel blocker.
