Snore Monitor Sleep Lab

Can be set in different ways
Note the name of the snorer - only needed if you share your recordings.
Choose what mic you would like to use. Internal mic is really good.
          

If you have someone beside you that snore too - use the headset mic.            

Note distance to mic so you can compare different recordings. 

Set start and end time if you only need a part of the night or need to save space
or battery.

Calibrate, just make a "normal" snoring sound and let it be norm giving, so you
know how loud the recordings are. 

All settings will be remembered so you only need to click Start next time.

Calibration
Just record a "normal" snoring sound as reference so you have an idea of how loud the actual snoring sounds are. After recording you have the horisontal yellow line to compare with. Why not decibel? We have found it very hard to give the right value in dB, since the user might need to have the iPhone at different distance etc.

The calibration recording will be saved and showed as a yellow line. It also serves as a sound check, so you know that the mic is in order and that your distance to mic is ok.

And remember: You only need to do this once. The settings are saved for next recording. So if you keep the same distance to the mic always, then you only need one calibration. But it is really ease to do anyway.

Recording
You can make a note of specific details.
If you had a late meal and perhaps
if you had alcohol, since these facts can strongly increase snoring.  
Afterwards you save the graph and you can see the differences of snoring sounds when eating earlier etc.

Since our snoring devices are adjustable
- use the recordings to find out what the optimal lower jaw protraction is.
And - if a combination of Reduznore (our new Mandibular Advancement Device) and MegaVent (our Nasal Dilator for better breathing) is what it takes to stop the snoring sounds best.

After recording, tap stop and then tap Draw Graph and you will see the graphs.

Every hour will be desplayed as one separate page.
                 

Graph
Every hour is shown as a graph.You may also zoom more in detail at 20 minutes per page. You get information how many times you made sound louder than the initial calibration level. And you get the highest peak level.

By clicking on a specific peak on the graph you will get a vertical yellow line and hear a sample of the actual sound. Remember: This app is not intendend to   cure or diagnose any medical problems but it can serve to at least make you aware of your snoring patterns. For example: If you have long periods of no sounds at all, followed by a sharp high peak and this pattern is repeated...Well, then you should click on that specific peak and listen to the sound. 

Sleep Apnea   

If you have a medical condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea, the snoring sound will be a very strong sudden sound, like you are forcing up a lid covering the air passage. If you hear a lot of these abrubt sounds, please contact your doctor for advice. You will probably be examined in a "real sleep lab".  

Save the image in the Photolibrary
Click on Snap to save the image for comparison. Mail it to your doctor or print it. Remember to write name and also background info for the recordings in order  to make it easy to compare later.

Listen to the whole nights sounds

You can of course play the last recording to hear the actual sounds...

Maneuver it like any tape recorder. Fast forward and play etc. Or use the slider.

Only three generations of the sound will be stored since a whole nights sounds is very space consuming.
After all - your Iphone should also be used for music, movies and other nice stuff...

And, of course, our coming sleep apps...

Download from Apple: iTunes/Appstore

SnoreMonitor can be downloaded from Apples iThunes. For less than the cost of a burger meal you can purchase this so called App - which in fact is a SleepLab that can make you aware of how much you snore and how you snore.

And: Snoring is very hard to understand. We know that many heavy snorers will need both MegaVent and ReduZnore but that is maybe not enough... Perhaps they will also need to adjust their Reduznore in order to bring the lower jaw more forward... This is where SnoreMonitor comes in. To check and to follow up.

And to check how different behavior will change the snoring. For example if you go to sleep earlier, if you eat earlier etc...

SnoreMonitor is a very valuable tool for your health. And a way to be sure that you can handle the snoring!
