There is only one answer: safety first. Don’t try to bring any electronic equipment in, this is a hard and fast rule, not negotiable. Instead of struggling with not being able to play with mobile phones, it is better to regard these 60-90 minutes as a complete mental restoration time. If the closed space makes you feel nervous, master the ear pressure balance skills, with deep breathing, can completely turn this period of time into a deep healing “body and mind reset” process.
Why Should Electronic Products Be Prohibited?
The core of the operation of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is to increase the atmospheric pressure and fill it with high concentration oxygen. In this environment, even a little bit of electrostatic spark or equipment short circuit may cause great safety hazards, which is much higher than the risk in ordinary rooms.
Mobile phones, smart watches, tablets, and even some hearing aids with batteries must be strictly kept outside the cabin. Before entering, our technicians will carry out detailed inspection, please be sure to cooperate. This is not only for your personal safety, but also for the lifeline of the whole clinic. We might as well regard this as a “forced digital detoxification”—in this era of information bombardment, being forced to disconnect from the outside world for an hour is actually a very rare relief.
How To Use These 60 To 90 Minutes?
When the inspection session is over and the hatch is closed, the rest of the time is entirely your personal physical and mental repair. Since you can’t watch the screen, optimize your treatment experience:
Read paper media: As long as the facilities allow, it is very good to bring books, magazines or newspapers. This allows you to get away from the blue light of the screen and quietly immerse yourself in the world of words. But remember: before entering the cabin, be sure to confirm to the staff whether the materials of these items are in compliance.
Pneumatic headphones: Many modern clinics offer specialized pneumatic headphones. This type of device is different from ordinary Bluetooth headsets. It conducts sound by air pressure and is completely safe to use in the cabin. Listening to audio books or soothing music can greatly relieve boredom.
Deep breathing and meditation: In this high concentration of oxygen environment to do meditation or regular deep breathing, the repair of the nervous system is very obvious. By focusing on the rhythm of your breathing, you are not only completing the treatment, but also deeply “charging” your body.

Deal With The Sense Of Closure And Physical Discomfort
Mild anxiety in a closed space is common, so don’t blame yourself for it. We can defuse it with some tricks:
Ear Pressure Balance: When the cabin is pressurized, you will feel a change in ear pressure similar to that of an airplane during takeoff and landing. The “old way” to solve this problem is the most effective:
- Valsalva action: gently pinch your nose, close your mouth, and try to gently blow outward.
- Swallowing or yawning: These two movements help open the Eustachian tube and equalize pressure in the ear.
Overcoming Claustrophobia: If you start to feel anxious, be sure to shift your focus from “spatial cramped” to “breathing regulation.” Try to slow down the breathing rate. Each smooth deep inhalation and deep exhalation can not only improve the oxygenation efficiency of the blood, but also the best psychological “sedative.”
Look at this time in a different way: don’t think of the cabin as a depressed, confined space, think of it as an exclusive, isolated, healing haven that belongs to you. When you stop trying to resist the sense of space and focus on the peace of the present moment, these 60-90 minutes will often become the most anticipated “blood return” moment of the week.
