Today is the 20th time that I'm undergoing the Hyperbaric Treatment at Novena Medical Centre.




OUTCOME:
I did not recover fully from my hearing loss but my tinnitus has lowered in volume considerably.
But that said, it still sometimes spikes at night before I sleep or when I wake up.
It's much better than before though.
I wonder if this tinnitus volume would last once treatment ends.

I also felt some of my facial numbness diminishing after the 1st session.

I am disappointed that I'm not one of those patients who have managed to miraculously recover from their SSHL via a series of Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments.

HEARSAY IN THIS CENTRE:
Some 20 something guy managed to recover only after 3 treatments within his 4 week SSHL period.
Another 50 something lady managed to recover after 10 treatments within her 4 month SSHL period.







It was one of the last hope that I was hanging onto.

To be fair, I only went slightly after the 3 month window period after much internal struggling.
I was afraid I would be spending too much money for something that might not work out. 

I gained around 5 decibels of hearing across some frequencies.
And I think I've heard some different tones popping in my bad ear around my 14th session onwards during the decompression segment.
Which means I've probably gained back some new sound frequency?

Was it money well spent?
(It's quite expensive and intense as you have to pay around $280 to $380 every day for 20 times)

Well, I think so. Otherwise I would always be thinking at the back of my head, "What if I did it and it could have helped me? And I didn't do it".

Those horrible thoughts would have consumed me. Better to get it out of the system.

I also wanted to do this to see if it would have helped my tinnitus on my good ear. But it didn't. Did this as a preventive measure. Got to protect what I have left.

I though it was also good that I did this to help my body to get better, to heal.
I was also having anxiety about possibly having stroke.
Coz I think this SSHL episode seems to be a warning to me.
So this oxygen treatment was also helpful to help "circulate" oxygen to the different parts of my body besides my ear.
