      ENT Ozone

      EAR OZONE (ENT) - Frequently Asked Questions

      What is ENT ozone?
      It is a procedure in which ozone is exposed to the ear canal, entering the inner ear, sinuses, and brain.

      What is ozone?
      Ozone consists of three molecules of oxygen linked together.

      Is ozone bad for you?
      The amount used functions as an oxidative therapy that decreases inflammation and destroys fungus, viruses, and bacteria. The amount used is not harmful.

      How long is the ENT ozone procedure?
      3-5 minutes.

      Are there side effects of ENT ozone?
      Side effects are rare. Some patients may experience dryness in the ear canal and nasal passages.

      What does ENT ozone treat?
      It treats sinus infections, ear infections, tinnitus, vertigo, chronic allergies, and headaches.

      How does the ENT ozone work?
      Ozone is administered into both ears via a stethoscope for 3 minutes.

      Is ENT ozone painful?
      Pain is rare.

      Can it bring immediate relief?
      For some patients, yes, but for others, it may take a series of treatments.

      How many treatments are needed?
      One treatment per week for 6-12 weeks.

      If I am better but not completely, do I get more treatments?
      Yes, the physician will discuss a plan for further care.

      I have tried ear insufflation, and my ears hurt. What do I do?
      Stop until the pain resolves, then restart. The practitioner will treat for a shorter duration or extend the time between treatments to prevent pain.

      My ears itch after ENT ozone; what do I do?
      Continue the therapy and apply ozone cream from the Medical Wellness Apothecary every 12 hours to the ear canals to soothe itching. This is normal and usually resolves on its own.

      I have Lyme disease; will ENT ozone help me?
      It may help with some symptoms like brain fog, but more intense ozone therapy (e.g., major auto hemo therapy, or MAH) is likely needed for the full spectrum of symptoms.
