Hello,
with this double beauty effects if we don't become beautiful there's no more hope
Yes, works well. Go for it. We are upto 15 sessions now as had to take a week's break due to severe flu. Its too early to tell about any solid benefits but overall do feel slightly better in this miserably cold weather.
I am thinking of doing the same. I experience ear discomfort to the point of pain or at least I use to when I was younger due to pressure changes/changes in altitude. I think the condition is called ear barotrauma or airplane ear. Possibility of ruptured eardrum is a concern here too.
Interesting question. The pressure in your head is going to have adjust somehow, so I'm not sure it would help in any way. While decompressing, I block one ear because of the loud sound, but the eardrum moves as the pressure goes down regardless. I saw this on a HBOT web page:
This statement suggests that the pressure in your head will change, regardless, but change may be slowed down by plugs that don't close the ear 100%.

I found a local place that's just been set up. 2 Polish guys running a HBOT out the back of a tattoo parlor in a pretty rough end of town. The name of the establishment: Why Not? Why not indeed
We talked for a while and they were very clued up on the benefits, studies etc. I said I was mainly looking to optimize health/performance and exercise recovery, and was potentially in the market for buying one after trying a few times.
They showed me some case studies and some of their own and their clients' stress scores from electronic measuring devices (such as Garmin watch and others), both before using HBOT and after it.
There were quite a few examples, they all generally look like this:

I haven't seen such case studies anywhere else so far, they are very impressive.
The main dude handled everything very professionally. Session was about 90 minutes in total, 60 minutes at 1.4 ATA.
Beforehand I'd had a busy day mentally, been on a tanning bed a little too long (slight sunburn), and had done a very high intensity sprint workout just an hour before the session. So thought this would be a great way to test the recovery benefits of HBOT.
Had some mild pain with my right ear which for a long time has not equalised properly with pressure. Usually I can force a yawn, which helps, but I was feeling stimulated and slightly nervous inside the tank, so was unable to yawn despite best efforts. The pain started to worry me a little but I pushed through and kept swallowing, then once maximum pressure was reached the pain settled down and the ear equalised gradually. De-pressurising afterwards was very easy for that ear, much easier than usual when flying even, which suggests it might have even helped "open up" that pathway and that regular sessions can benefit the sinuses.
I was pretty wired after I got out, came home, had some food and then went out again to the sauna pretty late. I noticed that I didn't feel like I had exercised at all, and when I got back home for the second time, was still feeling wired and able to focus. Also had a lot more emotions stirring than usual. I sat down in the dark and had a really nice session of prayer, feeling much more connected than I have in a long while. It felt very much like some kind of communion. After that I was still wired though and struggled to get to sleep for a while.
This morning I woke up with:
1) Zero sunburn - Unusual, I was pretty red last night
2) Zero muscle fatigue or soreness - Even managed a short morning run, again unusual after a sprint day
3) Hormones good and very little anxiety/negative emotion
4) Nervous system feeling a bit tired, certainly not 100%
Over all it looks promising so far, will see what I feel after a few more sessions.
Added: Just had a morning coffee and I feel pretty euphoric from it. You can probably cut down on the caffeine while doing this treatment, and maybe HBOT would help to break the addiction and come off it entirely.
Looks like it has actually been used in addiction treatment: [Hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of patients with drug addiction, narcotic addiction and alcoholism in the post-intoxication and abstinence periods] - PubMed
