In the following educational videos, I explore CPAP alternatives available in 2026. From hypoglossal nerve stimulation (Inspire and Genio) to oral appliances, positional therapies, and minimally-invasive surgeries, I review the medical research to help you understand your options.
The Genio® System is the newest sleep implant and the only bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulator available for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This video explains how Genio works, what the DREAM study showed, who can get Genio, and the surgical process.
Inspire V and Genio are the latest technologies available to treat obstructive sleep apnea. A head to head comparison of the devices including how they work, breathing synchronization, safety and effectiveness, selection criteria, implantation procedure, and MRI compatibilty will help make a more informed decision about which may be right for you.
The Inspire® V System is the latest generation of the first hypoglossal nerve stimulator available for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This video explains how Inspire works, what is new with Inspire V, the clinical evidence, who can get Inspire, and the surgical process.
Inspire V and Genio are the latest technologies available to treat obstructive sleep apnea. A head to head comparison of the devices including how they work, breathing synchronization, safety and effectiveness, selection criteria, implantation procedure, and MRI compatibilty will help make a more informed decision about which may be right for you.
Procedures to modify the airway have the potential to cure obstructive sleep apnea in people with upper airway collapse and moderate to severe sleep apnea. This video covers the most effective surgeries for upper airway collapse: Modified Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP, UP3) Expansion Sphincter Pharynoplasty (ESP) Barbed Suture Pharyngoplasty/ Barbed Repositioning Pharyngoplasty (BRP). Read more about pharyngoplasty here.
Get an in-depth look at hyoid suspension using the AIRLIFT™ system, a minimally invasive procedure to stabilize the lower airway. Dr. Weiner reviews who can benefit, the surgical procedure and recovery, and the published data on effectiveness.
Learn what sleep apnea is and about the two types: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the more common form, and this is caused by the intermittent closure of tissues in the back of the throat, resulting in a stoppage of breathing.
Learn the signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea; it may save you or your loved one’s life.
Do you need to go to a sleep lab to test for sleep apnea? What about the home apnea tests? Learn about the differences and advantages of these two tests for obstructive sleep apnea.
I break down what AHI is and what it means when considering sleep apnea treatment. Tired of the mask? Welcome to your guide to CPAP alternatives.
Understand how sleep apnea severity is measured and why oxygen levels may be important than your AHI.
How do sleep specialists determine the treatment options that are most likely to treat your obstructive sleep apnea? If CPAP is not working for you, a comprehensive airway evaluation is essential to discovering your airway collapse pattern to plan the most effective treatment. Dr. Jordan Weiner reviews his office examination and the information obtained during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), including the VOTE score which summarizes the location, pattern, and degree of collapse.
