MySnoringSolution

Has anybody ever heard of MySnoringSolution?

How can it work?

It says in part:

The chin strap, which is now available from a company called MySnoringSolution, works by supporting the lower jaw and tongue, preventing obstruction of the airway.

My wife and past girlfriends have always complained about my snoring but since becoming a Hosehead my wife says that I'm snoring way less. I confirmed this by downloading Sleepyhead on my computer and then loading in the info from my machine. My understanding, and I might be completely wrong, is that most snoring is caused by the collapse of the airway or some other blockage. How a chin strap might work I have no idea but unless it's somehow pulling your chin forward I don't see it doing much but closing your mouth and making the snoring less pronounced. My doctor did tell me about appliances that fit inside the mouth that pull the lower jaw forward to make your air passage larger and less likely to be obstructed (that's what I took from what she said at least, once again I might be wrong on the mechanics). Unfortunately my case of apnea is severe enough that she felt that there was no way that would work for me. based on what little I know, this just doesn't seem to be something that woud really work. Once again though, I might be wrong, I often am.

Yeah, that was my understanding too ... My snoring has stopped since being on the hose, so has my wife's ...

Yes, I know about the chinstrap's help with snoring, but I doubt it that it could eliminate it completely. I use my chinstrap, which costs $20, when I take a nap, without using the CPAP. It prevents the tongue from falling into the throat and causing an obstructive apnea.

I think it depends on how your airway is constructed, how much your tongue slides back, the size of the opening the air has to pass thru, plus the nature of your obstructive apneas (not to even wade into the deep water of 'centrals'). I doubt it'd be possible to say this will work for any one individual until they try it. But even if you did test it out, how would you know you were really being helped? Even a little snoring can disrupt the deeper levels of sleep if your airway collapses at the wrong time. I'm presuming, of course, that most of these snore-stopping chinstraps and dental devices don't come with software I'm such a kidder.

Sure they do! https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... pbot&hl=en.

Would I kid a kidder?

Since my first full night of CPAP, my snoring has vanished. Period. Not much more to say except my wife is very happy with that.

I wonder how many people died from complications of their apnea while wearing various "anti-snore" devices.
Maybe this should be brought to the attention of the ambulance chasing attorneys.
"--is this a tort?" Hmmm.
