Otologic manifestations of decompression sickness (DCS) are rare but significant causes of diving-induced hearing loss. Prompt hyperbaric oxygen treatment can lead to complete recovery from this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Diving Medicine
  • Hyperbaric Medicine

Background:

  • Otologic symptoms are infrequent but serious complications of decompression sickness (DCS).
  • Increased diving depths correlate with a rise in reported cases of DCS-related hearing loss.
  • Distinguishing otologic DCS from inner ear barotrauma is clinically challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the otologic manifestations of decompression sickness.
  • To highlight DCS as a critical cause of hearing impairment in divers.
  • To discuss diagnostic and treatment strategies for otologic DCS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of otologic DCS cases.
  • Pathophysiological mechanism analysis of otologic DCS.
  • Comparison with similar conditions like labyrinthine window fistula.

Main Results:

  • Otologic DCS is an underrecognized cause of hearing loss in divers.
  • Vestibular symptoms may accompany hearing impairment in DCS type II.
  • Early diagnosis and recompression therapy are crucial for recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Decompression sickness can cause significant otologic damage, including hearing loss.
  • Immediate hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the recommended treatment for otologic DCS.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand and manage otologic DCS.
