New anti-snore patch targets the science of sound waves (Summary)

There’s this new anti-snore gadget that could help in reducing the volume of snoring or any nasal noise, so that you can get a better nights rest.

“The “Silent Partner” snore patch addresses the sound rather than the cause of snoring” says co-founder Netanel Eyal. “The patch has two thumb print size parts that sit on either side of the nose and are connected through a bridge over the nose, detecting snoring sounds and emitting a counter sound that cancels out the original snores.”

The Silent Partner uses noise-cancellation technology that relies on the physics of sound-waves. So for example; if the snore wave looks like a bumpy line, the counter sound would overlay the wave with its bumps in between the bumps of the snore line, which will result in the two waves cancelling out each other.

The device can be worn in any sleeping position and is effective from distances as close as 8 inches away (20 centimeters).

Eyal and his team received positive feedback from doctors about the Silent Partner.

  1. I find this very interesting. I support the cause 100%. However, it seems as tho the device itself would squeeze the person's nose and idk how stirdy it is. Over all this was well summarized and im looking forward to hearing more on this topic.

    1. I had the same thought about it when I first saw it, but after taking a good look at it I don't think it's sturdy enough to squeeze ones nostril. Thanks for your feedback.

  2. This reminds me of a commercial that used to be on tv where you would just take out a small nasal band and apply it to your nose and this would help with your snoring. This gadget is just an upgrade of that as it now applies technology to combat the snoring. I think its pretty interesting
