New Device for Snoring

(CBS)  It's the sound that can stress out any marriage.  Snoring can keep frustrated partners up all night long.

 

But one company, Ventus Medical, says it has found a solution.  


A new snore therapy product called Theravent, just received FDA approval for sale over-the-counter.

 

It's like a big band-aid that seals tightly around your nose.  The so-called microvalves allow you to breathe in freely, but restricts the airflow when you breath out.

 

Ventus Medical says it reduces snoring by 76-percent. 

 

Kiet Do tried it. "It feels like you're wearing a scuba mask and takes some getting used to.  But after a few minutes of fussing and scratching, you can hear the results."

 

Do's snore went from a loud snore to a hissing sound.

 

"Because it's actually creating pressure when you breathe out,  it actually pressurizes the airway.  So instead of havaing a floppier, smaller airway, the airway is distended and expanded and less likely to vibrating.  And that's how Theravent treats snoring."  Said Dr. Raj Doshi from Ventus Medical.

 

There were, however, a few minutes where do's snoring overpowered the device, but it was still  muffled.

 

Theravent costs less than a dollar a night.
