[Antioxidants and hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss in children].

Efficiency of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in combination with antioxidants was studied in 36 children aged 1-14 years with neurosensory hypoacusis vs standard treatment. A course of HBO consisted of 10 sessions (1.4 atm) for 40 min. The response was registered in 72.2% patients. It manifested in improvement of sound perception at 5-25 dB. The highest effectiveness was seen in acute neurosensory hypoacusis. Thus, HBO in combination with antioxidants is recommended in combined treatment of neurosensory hypoacusis in children.
