Comprehensive clinical trials and 10 years customer satisfaction have confirmed this. The booming sleep industry and an aging and increasingly obese population have prompted greater use of the devices, which treat sleep apnea, a condition that causes snoring, brief breathing lapses and tiredness. CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reports that, devices aside, snoring could be a sign of serious medical issues that need to be addressed.
“I was totally surprised. Her snoring is all but gone, her family says.
Now there is a proven medical device for snoring that is affordable for everyone.
The U.S. Derek Lipman, author of the 1996 book Snoring from A to ZZZZ: Proven Cures for the Night’s Worst Nuisance.
“If you have a problem with snoring, you need to be evaluated by a medical professional,” he said. When Cindy finally saw a specialist about her snoring, she was diagnosed with sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous condition. Manufacturers of over-the-counter snoring aids say their products do help reduce “social” snoring, but aren’t designed to treat serious conditions such as sleep apnea. Doctors say sleeping on your side may also help reduce snoring, as might avoiding alcohol or large meals before bed.
Cobiella spoke with Cindy and Tom Scheid. To Tom, her snoring was no joke: “It would either keep me from falling asleep or wake me at some point during the night.”
THAT rumble you heard last night was 88 million Americans snoring. For 10% of snorers, the whistling, snorting and gasping means more than an embarrassing or humorous nuisance: It’s a symptom of a medical condition - sleep apnea - that science says can cause serious illnesses. New help in the quest to snore no more A $2,500 surgical procedure that can be done in your doctor’s office is the latest innovation. Other causes of snoring: narrow upper airways, lengthened palate or uvula, enlarged tonsils, or weak throat muscles. The newest surgical treatment for snoring is somnoplasty - a kind of internal facelift that tightens the saggy tissue blocking airways and causing snoring’s vibration.
Doctors in the central Florida town say their community is at the forefront of a national trend that has made the devices one of Medicare’s fastest-growing medical equipment expenses, up 96% nationwide since 200 Nationwide, the program for the elderly and disabled approved $571 million in payments for the devices, called continuous positive airway pressure machines last year, up from $291 million in 2004, Medicare data requested by USA TODAY show.
Spending could grow even faster under a new federal rule that makes it easier for patients to get the devices by testing for sleep apnea at home rather than in a sleep testing lab.
A sleeping mask that applies continuous positive airway pressure is helpful in preventing the inside of the throat from collapsing during sleep.
Developed by a leading American Dentist D.M.D. This new Anit-Snoring Device is a dental appliance without the need of a dentist and dental laboratory technician. 100 million Americans snore and will benefit from this product. This is a huge market of consumers in need of this solution, a patented medical device designed by a leading American Dentist that can be sold over the counter at a fair price.
The design is similar to the proven, effective designs of the dental profession and is at least as effective, but it will sell for a small fraction of the price, in the $40 to $60 range, with a very high profit margin.
