1. Does the Kyutec Snore Stopper really work ?
A : Yes, it works, but not for those with serious medical conditions as we indicate in our introduction and warning sections. Use
only as directed. If any unusual symptoms appear, discontinue the treatment and see your doctor. The proper use of the Kyutec
Snore Stopper requires self-discipline, careful application and time to train reflexes.
We employ our special in-build electronic biosensor, which is designed to detect snoring, based on the biophysical properties of
snores. Besides, due to its broad detection capability, no matter if your hands are under or outside the blankets, if the snores
are above 65~70 dB and occur 3 times in a row, they will be detected and trigger the device to response automatically.
2. Does it really reduce my snoring?
A: Snoring is caused by a narrow airway. Firstly, when we sleep, our nerves are in a relaxed state, and when the air moves into
the narrow airway during breathing, it causes the soft tissues of the throat (tonsils, soft palate & uvula) to vibrate. This vibra-
tion is the sound of snoring. Generally, snoring can be reduced if the snorers change their sleeping position or are given a mild
nerve stimulation. The Kyutec Snore Stopper is developed based on this concept. When the snores are detected, the device will
output a 5 seconds' impulse onto superficial skin, then snoring may be reduced in the following ways: i.) Snoring persons may
change the sleeping position ii.) increase the muscle tense of the throat muscles due to nerves stimulation.

3. What is dB ? How do I know whether the Kyutec Snore Stopper can be used in my home?
A : dB (decibel) is an index of measuring the intensity of sound. If you are in an environment that has a sound intensity of
above 70 dB continuously, we talk about a noisy background, normally, you will not live in this environment. The design of
Kyutec Snore Stopperaims on the source of indoor background noise. You may read the following table to see which is the opti-
mal sleeping condition for use.
Indoor background noise
above 65 dB (within 50 cm from TV)
60 dB (within 1 m from TV)
55 dB (within 1m from air-conditioner)
below 55 dB
Remarks : Under normal conditions, your home's indoor background noise will be 30~50 dB.
4. Why do I feel the intensity so weak during the testing procedures ?
A: This may be due to three reasons, i.) the difference in sex, age, weight and skin impedance influences your feeling. In fact,
the intensity of the output impulse lies within the safe range, so generally you should have the feeling. If you are distracted,
you may also have the low-intensity feeling. ii.) the skin's nerves are more sensitive during the nighttime. Since the device is
designed to be used at night, you may have the low-intensity feeling when you test the device at daytime. iii) check the con-
ductive electrode pads to see if you forgot to attach them, or if they should be replaced due to expired use.
