for my condition it is quite effective. I have small nostrils (narrow nasal passageway), large kissing tonsils and also I swallow my tongue....I have severe sleep apnea. It has cured my snoring. I.E. I now only breathe through my nose and no longer make any noise when I sleep. I will also say, I use it when I go running and it has done wonders...I have never been able to breath through my nose before. Also, I feel alot less tired now when I do aerobic exercises when I use it...it is cheap to purchase and a good deal. I have purchased two additional boxes for my sister's husband and also my stepmom...they are both embarassed about their snoring and also their sleap apnea. for my condition it is quite effective.

I don't really know for sure, as I have never heard myself, but my wife says it works. The thing I know for sure is, it stops the dry mouth. Hope this helps you.

The affect on snoring is mild but noticeable--I have been told. Since I am wearing it and asleep I cannot say for certain. Because the snoring originates in a different place in the throat and mouth, if you still have neck fat or tonsils or other restrictions then you will still snore. However, they have been invaluable towards keeping an airway open, causing me to sleep better, and cost less than strips. Sometimes you wake up and its gone--not because it fell out but in sleep you pull it out. As long as you can find it in the sheets, you're good.

They wouldn't. They would reduce the volume, so perhaps if you can sleep with quiet snoring? Just get a pair of cheap ear plugs which snuff out everything if you want to cancel out snoring.

I think it helps my husbands snoring greatly. He used to sound like a train now it more of a soft snuffle:)

Unit is fairly quiet and won't block out snoring if the person is in the same room :)

Hi, Veronica. I cannot give you the technical noise reduction range. But, in my opinion these ear plugs work really well but you MUST follow the directions for proper insertion. They do not totally cancel out the noise from my husband's snoring but he's REALLY loud and these plugs reduce the noise such that I barely notice it. They allow me to get to sleep and even when I wake up in the night, I do not notice the snoring. They do, however, allow me to still hear my iPhone's alarm clock but I do have it on the night table right next to my pillow. As an aside, my husband's radio alarm is set to raucous music and he turns it up so loud that it jars me awake so badly that I'm in a foul mood. These ear plugs deaden that sound such that awaking is MUCH gentler. You should definitely give these a try. They are the ONLY ones I've found to give me relief from the noise. They even reduce the noise fatigue from airplane engine noise on long flights. I also ride a motorcycle and am thinking about trying them for long rides as the engine and wind noise can be very fatiguing as well. Hope this info helps.

At first I thought it helped and kept using it for a couple of months. It then was erratic how often I would have to get up at night. I stopped taking it and it and found that it did not affect anything. I am even doing better at night without taking it. Hope this helps.

No, not really. I have a CPAP, and when I don't use it with this pillow, I definitely still snore.

Depends on how loud the snoring is. The ER20 is rated to reduce all frequencies by 20dB. If the snoring is room-shakingly loud, you won't completely cancel it but will reduce it to a much lower level. A friend of mine used these ER20s to sleep every night; he and his girlfriend lived a couple stories above a downtown nightclub which blasted thumping dance music all night.

I would say it should work fine. We have in in a very large master bedroom that has a sitting area, a tv area and the bathroom vanities (if not 500, very close to it). I usually turn it on medium about an hour before we go to bed and then turn it on low overnight. My husband was a chronic snorer before we got it and now he's completely silent.

I wonder if people are not using it correctly. The "Sleep therapy" mode is meant to change to white noise after time. You can put it on the sound mode without it turning to white noise if that is what you prefer. Read the directions people! I have not had any issues with the volume randomly reducing and really almost didn't buy this given the bad reviews. I love this machine and so does my husband. Try it before you decide it needs improvements!!!!

I haven't used it with my CPAP yet, but I've sure thought about it. Mostly I use it to take naps in my car. It seems like it would work well.

I use them for motorcycle riding so I have to believe they would help for snoring...BUT...the method of insertion into and out of the ear canal is a short, stiff plastic piece to grab onto. Seems to me it would not be fun to turn your side and have a pillow put pressure on the rod. Maybe I am wrong and it would be fine. Not sure.

Sorry, I didn't test it for snoring block. Just by projecting from my experience with much louder noise, I would expect the product to be effective for that purpose, too. However, this statement is limited by the fact that I have not tested the product for sleeping convenience: It almost certainly blocks snoring noise, but I have not experienced how it feels on one's ears while asleep.

I would give it a shot, it can get pretty loud if you want it to. This has had a calming effect on me since I started using it a few weeks ago.I'm sleeping better for it.

Let's face it: if you're in the same room with a snorer, you're out of luck. This is a wonderful little machine, and its purpose is to provide a nice steady ambient noise. It's great for helping you stay asleep through occasional sounds like cars going down the street or the furnace kicking on and off. But if you're partnered with someone who snores loudly, you're still gonna hear that. Best I can tell you is try the machine out, and if it doesn't drown out the sawmill next to you, take it to another room and shut the door behind you!

My first response to your question was yes, if put it over his face. I really not sure if will help snoring.

Hi, well my reason for getting the pillow was for my scoliosis n it helped with that. I don't remember reading anything that the pillow will help with snoring n since I am not a snorer I couldn't say for sure. But, thinking of it scientifically, it is said that sleeping on your side reduces snoring, this pillow makes sleeping on your side more comfortable n keeps the neck straight therefore keeping airway open so it has the potential of reducing snoring. Hope this helps.
