Medical Didgeridoo®
350 g lightweight, 43 cm long, hygienically washable: this CE Class I medical device generates defined air resistance in the upper airway – no prior experience needed.

With 15 minutes of daily training on the Medical Didgeridoo®, Silent Sleep Training® strengthens slackened throat muscles. This keeps upper airways stable at night against snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

During sleep, a slack soft palate and tongue base fall backward – narrowing the airway and causing snoring vibrations and breathing pauses.
The training strengthens pharyngeal muscles. Airways stay stable during sleep and air flows quietly without a mask or splint.
The Medical Didgeridoo® generates calibrated air resistance. The sensor and app measure during practice whether pressure and tone frequency reach deep pharyngeal muscles. Blowing into the device without app feedback produces no training effect.

350 g lightweight, 43 cm long, hygienically washable: this CE Class I medical device generates defined air resistance in the upper airway – no prior experience needed.
Zero-latency connection to your Windows PC, Mac, iPad, or compatible smartphone.
Measures your playing tone and shows whether you are playing correctly. Includes onboarding course, games, and progress tracking.
The app evaluates your playing tone live and guides your training with an onboarding course, practice guides, games, and nightly snore tracking (optional).
Checks via the sensor whether you play the tones correctly so the full training effect is achieved.
After the step-by-step course, you control the therapeutic training games directly through the tones you play to achieve an optimal effect.
Logs completed sessions and charts how nighttime snoring evolves week by week via integrated snore measurement.*
* For personal progress tracking and orientation; does not replace clinical sleep lab diagnostics.
In the SST Premium plan, a conversational AI coach guides you with spoken feedback, over 10 training games, and regular live webinars with founder Alex Suarez.

Just like physical muscle conditioning, Silent Sleep Training® follows two clear phases: after three months of training, a few short sessions per month keep toned pharyngeal muscles stable at night.
15 minutes of active daytime training – sleep mask-free without hoses or splints at night.

Practice for 15 minutes six days a week with device and app, leaving one day for recovery. Slackened throat muscles firm up week by week.

After the training phase, the effort drops considerably: 2 to 4 sessions of 15 minutes per month are usually sufficient to maintain pharyngeal muscle tone.
The app verifies your technique during monthly maintenance sessions, while snore tracking (optional) confirms your nights stay quiet.
Pharyngeal muscle training was researched in two clinical trials with the University of Zurich and published in The British Medical Journal, honored in 2017 at Harvard University with the Ig Nobel Prize for groundbreaking medical innovation.
Dr. med. Marcus Hesse (Sleep Specialist & Pulmonologist): «For me, Silent Sleep Training® is often the first-line therapy of choice for sleep apnea and snoring.» We collaborate closely with pulmonologists and sleep laboratories.
Important medical note: No healing promise. Silent Sleep Training® is an active training therapy designed to strengthen airway musculature and a certified Class I medical device. If diagnosed with sleep apnea, always consult your physician before use. Never discontinue prescribed therapies (such as CPAP) on your own.
1. Clinical Efficacy (The BMJ): A randomized controlled trial led by Prof. Dr. Milo Puhan demonstrated statistically significant reductions in AHI and daytime sleepiness.
2. Anatomical Mechanism (MRI Study): MRI scans showed a reduction of fatty tissue surrounding the upper airways and a more stable pharyngeal passage.
3. Global Evidence: Over 12 international studies corroborate the efficacy of myofunctional pharyngeal training.
Award: Honored in 2017 at Harvard University with the Ig Nobel Prize for research that makes people laugh, then think. The training strengthens throat muscles without medication and without surgery.
Alex Suarez was in his mid-30s and working as a martial arts instructor when his wife pushed him out of bed at night – because he had stopped breathing in his sleep.

«Before I use this machine for the rest of my life, I would rather die 20 years earlier.»
After stopping breathing at night, his family doctor referred him for an overnight sleep study at Höhenklinik Wald. He returned home with a diagnosis of moderate sleep apnea and a clear medical verdict: a CPAP mask on his face every night for life. He tried it for two weeks. Neither he nor his wife could sleep over the noise of the blower, and after 14 days he brought the machine back.
Before leaving the clinic, he asked his doctor to explain the exact physical mechanism: during sleep, muscles in the throat and pharynx slacken and close the airway. Drawing on his background as a martial arts instructor, he went home with one practical question – whether there was a way to actively train those specific muscles.
At a seminar in Ibiza, he watched a student play the didgeridoo and noticed the student’s throat visibly moving. Hopeful, he asked whether the student snored or had sleep apnea – and learned that the student snored too. Undeterred, Alex Suarez developed his own targeted playing technique and agreed on a three-month self-trial with his attending doctor: 15 to 20 minutes of daily training, followed by a repeat sleep-lab measurement.
After three months, Alex Suarez spent another night in the sleep lab and was discharged the next morning free of sleep apnea. For him, his personal problem was solved. Soon after, the physicians contacted him to ask whether he would lead the training in a formal clinical trial to test if his result was a fortunate exception or reproducible across patients. Conducted with the University Hospital Zurich (University of Zurich) and Höhenklinik Wald, the trial produced significant results published in The British Medical Journal, followed by a second MRI study showing the structural changes inside the throat.
Personal account of founder Alex Suarez. Individual outcomes vary; Silent Sleep Training® is an active training therapy and not a promise of cure.
Personally experienced moderate sleep apnea and heavy snoring, overcame the symptoms through targeted muscle conditioning, and created the foundation of today’s program.
Connects medical technology with modern app design to make training intuitive for everyone.
Randomized clinical trial with University Hospital Zurich in The BMJ & throat MRI.
