How does EPAP stop snoring?Updated 2 months ago

EPAP helps reduce snoring by stabilizing the airway during exhalation, making it less likely to narrow and vibrate.

Why Snoring Happens

Snoring occurs when airflow passes through a narrowed airway during sleep, causing soft tissues to vibrate.

How EPAP Reduces Snoring

When you exhale through SnoreBuds:

• Air is directed through small vents.
• This creates gentle resistance.
• The resistance generates positive pressure in the airway.

That pressure helps keep the airway more stable and reduces tissue vibration.

You should feel mild resistance when breathing out. That sensation means EPAP is active.

Because SnoreBuds includes four adjustable strength levels, you can gradually increase pressure until you find the setting that reduces snoring while remaining comfortable.

You can find a more detailed explanation on how EPAP reduces snoring here.
