Weakened means that the muscles are too soft or too thin; thus, lacking a muscular strength making them likely to sag.Those muscles dribble under the stream of air from your breath and physically produce the vocal snoring sound.
No, there are none. Even the known anabolic steroids make a muscle bigger only if you intensively train it.
This is exactly what SNOR Device accomplishes. When you making a sucking effort, you activate and load your soft palate muscles and create vacuum inside the tube, which is connected to the device. The device has a built in pressure sensor, which takes a reading and sends it to your smartphone. This way you are able to see how hard your soft palate muscles are tensing. The more you tense your soft palate muscles, the more vacuum you create inside the tube. Respectively, the graph on the screen of your smartphone rises higher. In the medical field, we call this method “biofeedback”.
Most likely, you will not feel any different. You will start seeing the result after you finalize 10-15 complete sessions with the device. The “complete” session impliesthat you are performing the exercise at your full ability and tensing your soft palate muscles as hard as you can.
After you have completed your soft palate muscles training and the snoring has disappeared, your muscles will eventually start losing its strength and tightness. Keep in mind that it is a slow process. It could take months or a year before your soft palate muscles would weaken enough to produce snoring. That being said, you can complete another course of training exercises with SNOR Device and your soft palate muscle will restore it’s “anti-snoring” qualities.
During the development, we have always used subjective feedback from our testers who suffered snoring. Over 70% of them were certain that SNOR had helped them within 1 month.SNOR Device is developed specifically for training the soft palate muscles, which produce the snoring sound. The Device offers a number of exercises, monitors the intensity of the training, and demonstrates how hard the muscles are performing in real time (biofeedback). With this combination of features, the SNOR technology makes the training procedure highly effective and it eliminates snoring after a short period.Below you can find several published studies, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the soft palate muscle training on snoring:
This issue is happening because you are not making the sucking effort correctly. Firstly, you have to correctly position the tube inside your mouth. You have to hug the tube with your lips specifically at the marker and press it up against your hard palate with the back of your tongue. Secondly, you have to suck in the air through the tube without engaging your cheeks (as you normally do it when drinking liquids) and engage your soft palate instead. At the same time your lips should be somewhat tense in order to keep the tube in place. The cheeks should be relaxed.
During first few training sessions fully engaging your soft palate muscles will be an unusual task for you; therefore, there may be some unsuccessful attempts and mistakes done during the testing procedure. If you feel that you have not completed the test with your full ability, or you feel that you have made some mistakes, you should repeat the "TEST". To repeat the test, press "REPEAT TEST" button located in the "TEST RESULTS" window. Sometimes, you may get tired after several unsuccessful testing runs. You may rough skip the testing for that particular session by pressing "EXIT WITHOUT SAVING" button.
Do not get too concerned if performing the exercises seem too hard. The software tracks your activity during exercise and changes the threshold for the next attempt. Same goes for the "MOVIE" exercise. The software sets a new difficulty level every 20 seconds of the exercise, using your previous attempt at engaging the soft palate muscles as a reference.
Yes, that is a rare case but there is a possibility that this can happen. Due to the intensive activation of the soft palate muscles, negative pressure is created inside your mouth cavity (vacuum). Under those conditions, a small capillary vein in your gums may rupture, which will result in blood getting out. Do not worry, it is not dangerous and it is a temporary occurrence. The training process will strengthen your gums along the way. Keep in mind that if you think there is enough blood to be concerned or if the blood still comes out after 5-7 training sessions, seek the consultation with your dentist. You may have to treat your gums to get rid of any blood during training with SNOR.
The primary outcome you can expect is the reduction or disappearance of snoring. Typically, you're not attuned to your own snoring, making it hard to objectively gauge its reduction. While seeking your partner's perspective is an option, it's still subjective. A more objective approach involves using apps like "SnoreLab: Record Your Snoring" or "Sleep Monitor: Sleep Tracker," which quantify snoring.
To accurately assess the results, consider jotting down observations before and after using the SNOR device. The "RESULTS" section of the SNOR app offers additional insights. Typically, the average pressure generated during the initial testing phase of the course falls within the 50-150 mbar (millibar) range. After completing the training course, this pressure range increases to 250-350 mbar. This change demonstrates that the muscles in the soft palate have strengthened sufficiently to halt snoring.
Functionality of the SNOR software is guaranteed from Android 6.0 and iOS 9.3.6. If SNOR Device is incompatible with your Android phone, return the device back to us for a refund. (See the Return Policy).
