Of course, Thomas had tried everything:
Nose spray? After three weeks, he was dependent. He had to spray every 20 minutes, otherwise he couldn’t breathe. The ear, nose, and throat doctor later said he had "damaged" his mucous membranes. Cost: 40 euros per month. Permanently.
Anti-snoring mouthpiece? 300 euros for a piece of plastic that gave him jaw pain. After two weeks, the thing lay in the drawer.
CPAP mask? Felt like Darth Vader. Sabine said the device was louder than his snoring. Cost: 2,000 euros plus upkeep.
Surgery? 2,500 euros out of pocket. Three weeks off work. And the surgeon casually mentioned that in 35% of patients, the snoring returns within two years.
Thomas was desperate.
His marriage was at stake. His health was worsening. And he had already spent over 3,000 euros on solutions that didn’t work.
And then something strange happened in the waiting room of an ear, nose, and throat doctor’s office...
