Description

Research has shown myofunctional therapy reduces snoring and sleep apnea. Join our research study testing if myofunctional therapy can be delivered in a gamified format.

In collaboration with the Radian Institute and advised by researchers from Mayo Clinic, Soundly is conducting a research study on the benefits of gamified myofunctional therapy to reduce snoring and sleep apnea.



Myofunctional therapy is comprised of exercises for the upper airway muscles that have been shown in studies to reduce snoring and sleep apnea. The outcomes, however, are highly variable. Some people experiencing small reductions and others have reductions greater than 80%.

The goal of this study is to better understand who responds to myofunctional therapy and why.

“What a fun idea! Soundly greatly reduced my husband’s snoring.”

"I felt like my improvements were evident within two weeks of using the application - even when missing a couple days."

"I don't wake up with cotton mouth or headaches anymore."

"Over the course of using the Betea version, I've felt my throat muscles become stronger. At first, had difficulty completing a 15-minute session. Can now get through a session without difficulty. Thanks."

"One interesting thing that I have noticed - My vocal cords have thickened slightly due to age/menopause. I’ve gone to voice therapy but I have noticed that Soundly helps my singing voice."

Soundly is a fun and effective way to reduce your snoring without wearing uncomfortable devices during sleep. The Soundly is based on myofunctional therapy, a physical therapy that strengthens and tones your upper airway, thus reducing the tissue vibrations that cause snoring. Clinical research has shown that myofunctional therapy can also reduce the collapse of the upper air that causes sleep apnea and reduce AHI by more than 50%.

The Soundly Therapy was developed at the University of Minnesota’s Medical Devices Center in collaboration with the Fairview Sleep Center. The Soundly Therapy is based on the latest myofunctional therapy and behavioral change research. From 2020 to 2022 Soundly was used in a research study by Mayo Clinic and provided to patients with mild sleep apnea.

How does Soundly work?

You can think of Soundly as physical therapy for your upper airway. Snoring is caused by a weak and floppy airway that vibrates during inhalation. Soundly strengthens and tones your upper airway through a series of key vocalization exercises. Like other physical therapies, it can take several weeks to see the benefit. To make our therapy fun and engaging we have built it into a voice-controlled game. Simply play the game for 15 minutes a day to begin reducing your snoring.

“Sometimes I would get really into the game and completely forget I was doing a therapy to reduce my snoring.”

“My wife’s snoring didn’t go away completely, but now we can sleep in the same room again.”

Flawed but works

I’ve been playing this for years now and my wife definitely knows if I’ve played or not. The game is buggy and annoying but gets the job done. My record is level 207 I’m pretty sure.

The game itself is Absolute garbage..I hate this app

The idea of working out your tongue and throat is great and seems to be working. I am not snoring near as much as I was. But the game itself is garbage. The characters only respond to naw or ahhhh, but not to knee. It does better with HHEEE...or neeet, or needin...but even then will lock up and just not move. It’s very frustrating not to ever be able to get past level 1. And I am exaggerating the knee. And my family sure knows I’m saying knee cuz they hear me all over the house. I’m giving a 2 because it is helping but the game doesn’t work and deserves a zero.

Fun app, has great potential

I downloaded this, to see if it would help Siri, and Tina ToyotaEntune, since neither one understands me very well. Although I have severe sleep apnea, I have never snored.

I was only able to use this app for 3 days. It is deceptive advertising to say this is a free app with “in app purchases”. In order to use it for more than 3 days, you have to pay $9.99/month or $99/year.

I gave 2 stars that would have been 4 stars, if this had truly been a free app. You get a demonstration for 3 days before purchase is more accurate.
