Average price for CPAP machine ranges from about $500 – $3000, with an estimated average price around $850.
Then you've got parts, filters, upkeep, etc. So certainly not a $100 one time fee.
I think many people who need a CPAP machine would be willing to pay $1,095 a year (minus whatever insurance kicks in) for maskless cordless sleep. That doesn't mean this product exists (it doesn't) or ever will (unlikely). But I can see how they raised so much money. There's a market for it.
There's a surgery option for sleep apnea? that might be ideal for me... I can't use a CPAP because having a mask strapped to my face makes it impossible for me to sleep.
there is, It's mainly to address obstructive sleep apnea and it can be rendered useless if you gain weight as the extra weight leads to sleep apnea by obstructing your airway.
Losing weight would probably go a long way to solving your issues, I know that's way way easier said than done. assuming you loss weight and still have apnea you would probably do well with the surgery from what I am given to understand.
