... of a new prescription only (sic) device ... The eXciteOSA device works by delivering electrical muscle stimulation through a mouthpiece that sits around the tongue. The eXciteOSA mouthpiece has four electrodes, two located above the tongue and two located below the tongue. The device provides electrical muscle stimulation action in sessions that consist of a series of electrical pulses with rest periods in between. It is used for 20 minutes once a day during a wakeful state, for a period of 6‐weeks, and once a week thereafter.

Interesting... Also highly annoying that they didn't test it on patients above 15 AHI, so it's "not intended for severe apnea sufferers" when in fact they don't know the outcomes for severe sufferers. I might test it out anyway.
Instead of Sleep apnea it should be called "Sleep deprivation, starving of oxygen, being poisoned by high CO2 levels, damaging the body and brain while it's supposed to be healing so that you constantly get worse and can never get healthy Apnea"

Has the added benefit of re-starting your heart while you're using it. Could make defibrillators things of the past?

This does not look very pleasant.
Is there evidence that tongue muscles have something to do with sleep apnea?

When OSA patients fall asleep, the tongue and other airway muscles relax. The tongue falls back into the airway.
