The chamber will be filled with compressed air. Once the chamber has expanded to its filled size, it will start to pressurize. While the chamber is pressurizing, your ears will feel the change in pressure inside the chamber. Otherwise it should be unnoticeable. To equalize the pressure and avoid the feeling of fullness in your ears, you will need to clear your ears by chewing (gum or food), swallowing, yawning. During the pressurization of the chamber, your mouth may become dry. Once the chamber is fully pressurized, your salivation will return to normal. Additionally, the chamber may become slightly warm while it is pressurizing. Once it is to full pressure, the relief valves will begin to pull the warmer air out of the chamber. Then you can sleep, meditate, read, watch movies, listen to music, etc.
2. Is Hyperbarics good for the Elderly?
Most definitely. Hyperbarics is great for those in their later years. Hyperbarics provides an immeasurable boost, which counteracts the signs of aging. In fact, new research indicates that hyperbaric oxygenation slows Apoptosis (cell death).
3. How safe is the Portable Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
Pure oxygen under pressure is extremely flammable. Monoplace hard chambers use pure oxygen under pressure, so safety precautions must be taken when using these chambers. While our chamber uses pressurized room air with an oxygen concentrator. Hence it is safe and not flammable. However, the chamber should not be exposed to any naked flame, cigarette or the like.
