INTRODUCTION: Most commonly used treatment modalities for @entity13378 ( @entity13378 ) include @entity479 and hyperbaric @entity26 (HBO2) therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of combined @entity479 and HBO2 therapy in @entity1 who develop @entity13378 during firearms training and the effect of delay to treatment on treatment success. MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 admitted with the complaint of @entity393 after firearms training between January 2011 and April 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. @entity1 were grouped according to date of admission; @entity1 admitted within the first 10 days were included in Group A and those admitted between Days 11 and 30 in Group B. RESULTS: A total of 48 @entity1 (73 ears) with @entity13378 were included. There were 37 ears in Group A and 36 ears in Group B. The number of ears with complete treatment response, partial treatment response and treatment failure (unchanged) were one (2.7%), 7 (18.9%) and 29 (78.4%) in Group A and 0 (0%), 3 (8.3%) and 33 (91.7%) in Group B, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.095). Late-term results (at Week 6) demonstrated Group A showed higher @entity393 on high frequencies than Group B (p < 0.05), but this result was not consistent with clinical outcome results. CONCLUSION: The success rate of combined HBO2 and @entity479 therapy was very low in our study. However, early initiation of treatment results in better outcomes. Protective measures have great importance in preventing @entity13378 .
