The AveoTSD Tongue Stabilizing Device is a unique approach at treating snoring and mild sleep apnea. It works by retaining the tongue in a forward position with gentle suction. Unlike the Mandible Advancement Devices that pull your jaw forward bringing your tongue with it to open the airway in the soft palate, this device keeps your tongue forward with the help of it's rubber bumpers that rest on your outer upper and lower lip. Since your tongue will be sucked into the ball of this pacifier like device, your jaw will be open, leaving just enough airway to breathe. This is very useful for mouth breathers who's tongue relaxes to the back of the throat, creating that snore vibration sound which disrupts sleep. It is also very helpful for those who suffer from nasal disorders such as deviated septum, sinus polyps or flimsy nasal walls which is the reason most of us turn to breathing through our mouths in the first place.
To be fair almost any invention used to stop snoring by either opening airways in the sinus or throat in my experience has been less than comfortable in general so amazingly this unit was easier to get used to. According to what I've read, this newest version of the AveoTSD is noticeably softer than previous versions. The medical grade silicone is very light and is unobtrusive. Unlike the original Tongue Retaining Device created in the early 80's, this unit eliminates the added mouthpiece of the original design making it a more simplistic. When I first saw it I thought I might need a larger unit, then after first trying it I was afraid it may be too large because my tongue started slipping out. But after getting used to applying the proper amount of suction, by merely pressing the bulb to release air which creates the appropriate pressure then relaxing my tongue the unit fit perfectly and stayed on all night. Depending on what night the following day when we woke, my partner told me my snoring was eliminated or greatly reduced.
The outstanding news for me was that after snoring for many years with compromised sleep, dealing with dark circles under my eyes and low energy levels, after the first night of using this device I noticed a major change in my appearance and energy. After a week I could see the circles under my eyes ease up, my skin looked better and my overall energy levels were at an improved rate throughout the day. I was so happy with the results that I decided to create reviews for the public to see and use for the decision process on buying products that could potentially change their lives for the better.
The only downside I could see for most people looking the first time for a quick fix could be it's initial cost. But I think the fact that it reduces or cures snoring more than makes that reasonable especially since some of the cheaper devices out there don't always work or even make one suffer. The only other thing I see room for is a slight enhancement if it could be made to let more air in through the sides. Since I sleep on my side the pillow might block a little breathing, luckily this isn't a problem for the Aveo.
My oversell opinion of the unit is very high and I have been feeling much better every day compared to not using anything. Altogether I would have to give this product 4.5 out of 5 stars at doing the job and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially in conjunction with a nasal dilator, which I will be reviewing in other videos.
