BACKGROUND: Inside attendant personnel (IAP) working in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) chambers face unique risks due to their exposure to pressurized environments, similar to those encountered by divers. During sessions, IAP breathe only compressed air, making them susceptible to potential adverse effects on hearing function. Previous studies have almost exclusively focused on divers, leaving a gap in understanding how these conditions might affect the hearing function of IAP.
