What Is HBOT Like?
HBOT is quite similar to being on an airplane in descent to your final destination or driving through the mountains where your ears pop and pressure changes are common. Another similarity is when you are swimming under water and the pressure on your sinuses and ears is evident. In order to relieve the pressure, we would typically swallow, yawn, or even pinch our nose and blow with our mouths closed. The body can’t tell the difference between being underwater or in a chamber, so these maneuvers work in a chamber as well. If clearing or equalizing your ears is a problem, then other techniques can be taught or a special ear plug can be utilized.
