Snoring doesn't start in your nose. It starts in your throat.
When you fall asleep, the muscles that hold your airway open relax by up to 80%. The airway narrows. Air has to squeeze through a smaller space, the soft tissue starts to vibrate, and that vibration is the sound coming out of you every night.
This is why the drawer full of remedies didn't work. Nasal strips widen your nostrils. Sprays coat your throat for twenty minutes. Special pillows change the angle of your head. Mouthpieces push your jaw forward and leave it aching. Not one of them does anything about the muscle that let go in the first place.
What Hush actually does
Hush sits under your chin on a soft adhesive patch. Through the night it sends gentle electrical pulses to the muscles underneath — the same principle physical therapists have used on muscles for decades — to help keep them toned instead of collapsing.
You don't feel a shock. Most people describe it as a light tingle for the first minute or two, then nothing at all.
Three steps, thirty seconds
- Peel and place. Stick a patch under your chin, just below the jawline.
- Click the device on. One button. It runs all night.
- Go to sleep. In the morning, peel it off. One patch lasts about ten nights.
The first few nights are the honest part
Wearing something under your chin feels strange at first, the way a new watch or a new ring does. Two nights, sometimes three. Most people report they stop noticing it entirely by the third night, and that's the point where it starts doing its job — because muscles respond to consistency, not to one good night.
That's why the guarantee is sixty nights and not seven. You need room to get past the adjustment before you judge it.
What Hush is not
Hush is a consumer wellness product for snoring. It is not a medical device, it is not a CPAP replacement, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, including sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, or if your partner has noticed you stop breathing during the night, please talk to a doctor. That is a conversation for a professional, not for a gadget.
