What Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Feel Like?
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments are normally painless. You simply lie comfortably and restfully in the chamber. You can listen to music, watch TV or nap if you wish and feel no differently than if you were lying in your own bed. You may experience a sensation of fullness in your ears during certain stages of the treatment. This is similar to that which is felt while flying in an airplane or driving down a mountain as the eardrum responds to changes in pressure. As part of your introduction to the treatment, you will be taught several easy methods to avoid ear discomfort.
