The aim of the research project was to investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the redox equilibrium in individuals with different pathological conditions. Both hyperbaric oxygenation and the pathological condition are associated with redox imbalance (oxidative stress), however, HBO is successfully used in the treatment of chronic wounds, e.g., diabetic foot syndrome, as well as in sudden and acute hearing loss, e.g., acute acoustic trauma or idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
