Loud snoring and sleep apnoea is usually caused by loss of tone of the muscles of the tongue and pharynx in sleep. Until now, the treatments included wearing  CPAP or Oral appliance during sleep or surgical procedures.

Improving the tone of the tongue muscles can reduce snoring and even sleep apnoea.  In the last two years, a new device known as eXciteOSA has been used to improve the tone of the tongue muscles.
