Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an important acute clinical condition in children. A specific treatment is still missing. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is one of the recommended treatments for SSNHL in adults. Our knowledge on the use of HBO therapy in children for SSNHL is limited. Herein, we report the successful use of HBO therapy in the management of SSNHL in a 14-year-old child.
