Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 I'm disappointed to hear that the soft chamber one is giving you problem with ears. My right one was injured at one time, so I think that is why I'm having trouble. Is yours considered mild hyperbaric oxygen treatment Ed? --- In , Edy Rayfield <edyrayfield@...> wrote: > > I have a home chamber and it always makes me feel better. I like that I'm getting oxygenated. I, too, have some ear problems and haven't been using it as much as I'd like. It goes to about a 12 foot depth unlike the hard shelled ones that go to 45 foot.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Yes. I used it for almost 9 months and I expect to use it again when this ear thing has resolved. I had an upper tooth pulled and that was the beginning of the trouble. Soon I hope I'll be doing it again. I went in a couple of days ago and only experienced a slight pain in the ear. I think between the Nizarol spray and Neti Pot I'll soon have this taken care of and look forward to more HBOT. What ATA are you trying to do?

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Ed, maybe tissues above where tooth was extracted still inflamed or swollen a little, causing pressure on ear. Can you SLOW down the speed to which you pressurize? I would think since you are at home, you could go very slow. That allows pressures to equalize even if there is only tiny room for air to flow through ear area. I think I could go down to any depth really, if they would take me slow enough but other people want to use the machine.... However I don't want to encourage you. No pain should be tolerated as ear drum is so delicate. I don't know what ATA is? They told me depth but I have forgotten now, 40 feet? I think they only can get me down to 20 ft due to how slow they need to go right now. --- In , " Edy Rayfield " <edyrayfield@...> wrote: > > Yes.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Barb, That's a good idea. I can control how fast to pressurize by releasing air with a valve right above my head. Also I yawn a lot to keep them open and pull a bit on the ear turning my head for more openess. I will try your suggestion.
