ABSTRACT:
A compact self-contained electronic anti-snoring device is adapted to be worn in the outer ear or attached thereto. It comprises a miniature microphone for detecting snoring sounds and means responsive to the detection of snoring sounds for generating an aversive audio signal. The aversive audio stimulus is emitted via a speaker in the user's ear. Preferably, a combined microphone/speaker is used and the snoring sounds are detected via the auditory canal. Means are also provided to vary the amplitude and duration of the audio stimulus with successive snores to obviate habituation. A counter is also provided to record the number of snores during a sleeping period and provide an indication of the effectiveness of the device.
