  • Have You Had a Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator for Sleep Apnea?

    Posted by jen-cueva on August 31, 2020 at 10:17 am

    Do you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? Has your doctor mentioned doing a hypoglossal nerve stimulator to help with this? I had only heard of the procedure but was not familiar with it, so I thought this YouTube video showing the procedure might be helpful to others.

    We have a new member who mentioned this procedure. Does anyone here have experience with the hypoglossal nerve stimulator? If so, did it offer relief from your OSA? Please share your experiences with us below.

    I never heard of it @jenc until now. Is this something your team has mentioned for you or are you just curious about it?

    Hi @colleensteele, no, not me, but we have a new member who is getting ready to have this procedure for her obstructive sleep apnea. I thought that showing the video would be helpful for others, too.
