I don't use CPAP but I'm looking for a way to reduce snoring - would this still work?

I honestly don't know. Its possible, and I think it has been reported to do. But there are plenty of causes for snoring. This might address only one of those causes.

This product has helped me reduce my snoring a great deal, albeit not a 100%. I was frequently waking up with a sore throat, and since I've used it, it has happened only once in about a month. I started with a different chin strap without the "double band", which was unsuccessful, because it was constantly slipping. The CareFusion Ruby product design keeps it in place most of the time. It has to be snug, though.

It depends on the problem that is causing the snoring. If the problem is in the back of the throat (which it probably is), then no, it wouldn't help. If the problem is that the nasal passages are constricted, then it might.

We have only used the white noise and that works well. It has a volume control, and that we have not turned up very high. It could drown out a light snorer.

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.

Not sure if it will help with the snoring, but it does elevate your head, so if you have found putting a few extra pillows under your head works, this should work, but better because it doesnt shift

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've been using these for years. Seems to depend on what kinds of sounds you're trying to block. They're good for relatively quiet ambient or distant sounds. They do nothing to block my husband's snoring. Then again, I've not found anything to block that.

I do not know, do not have your Cpap machine. I swear by this SoClean sterilizer. Call the manufacture and check with them.

Andrea, although i myself have not used this for that purpose, because of its basic design (noise monitoring) I cannot imagine it NOT being able to be used for that purpose. And, as along as we're on that direction of conversation, might i add here that if the purpose is to check on the sleeping habits (with particular focus on snoring) of an individual that you consider having a sleep study performed (yeah, I know... you've probably already guessed it, but seeing a doctor for problems such as sleep apnea CAN be a prudent act on your part).Hope this helps.

Yes it will. I use the Respironics CPAP, and it does work. Be sure to use the CPAP without the humidifier (or with it turned off), because the heater in the humidifier draws much more power than the CPAP itself. If humidity is needed on battery power, put warm water in the reservoir.

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!

I doesn't work well without the cpap. The edges curl, the dye stained my pillows and it pinches your eyes.It would probably be compatible with a cpap mask, but, I can't recommend this mask in general.

It doesn't that I know of. It's a sports mouth piece. Our kid's use it for Taekwondo..... If you want to stop snoring, we have used R.C. - an essential oil blend that you can get here and it works AMAZING: https://www.youngliving.com/signup/?sponsorid=1484118&enrollerid=1484118

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.

I've used this as a replacement for my cpap. It's less restrictive (not tied to an air pump) and allows more movement and less sleep interruptions. I'm not advocating this in place of cpap therapy but as a different approach to control the causes of chronic snoring. It's way more portable when travelling and much easier to use. I'm still taking data but it's looking favorable. I've also wanted to try the 'mouth guard' I've seen advertised but have yet the need to...hope this helps!

I really don't know. My guess is to go to the ResMed website or contact your cpap supplier.
