Snoring is definitely a problem – problem for your partner or those around you. Therefore, a solution – named Silent Partner can cancel out snore noise to much delight.
Silent Partner is a patch that addresses the sound rather than the cause of snore. It has two-thumbprint-sized parts that sit on both sides of the nose connected by a bridge. It can detect snore sounds, and was able to emit sound waves to neutralize the noise.
According to American Academy of Otolaryngology, there is about 45 percent of healthy adults who snores occasionally, while 25 percent does regularly.
There are different reasons as to why a person snores – from muscle problems to throat obstructions. Yet in the end, there are different strategies as to treating snores depending on the case.
But as it shows, there is already a possible general solution to snoring – technology gives as a way out of it. Instead of focusing entirely on each cause, the noise cancellation technology of Silent Partner can eliminate the problem whatever the reason behind is.
It is uses a noise cancellation technology. It relies on concept of physics with regards to sound waves. Each sound has its own signatures of pressure waves. When the Silent Partner identifies the snore sound, it will release its own sound wave that will nullify the noise as much as possible.
So far, the nose patch is effective from distances as close as 8 inches. The good thing is, the device can be worn in any sleeping position – sideways or flat – it can work.
But experts still warn that if the snoring cause must still be attended by a medical professional. The patch only cancels the noise – not the disorder. Especially if snoring is related to sleep apnea cases – it must undergo proper medical care.
