A retrospective study at the ear, nose, and throat department of the
EuromedClinic showed considerable improvements immediately after the end of
the treatments for acute and for chronic Tinnitus. Eighty percent of our
patients suffering from acute Tinnitus showed an improvement with
intravenous medication without hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and 65.7% showed
improvement with infusion therapy and hyperbaric oxygen. However, at 3
months and then later (long-term results), the figures decreased to 67% and
46%, respectively. In the chronic Tinnitus group, the therapeutic effect
dropped from 66.7% to 34% (with only intravenous medication) and from 60% to
28% (with combined therapy). These facts can explain the importance of
beginning the treatment of patients suffering from Tinnitus as early as
possible (i.e., acute stage).
