1 Introduction In the United States, 17.4% of women and 33.9% of men have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [1, 2]. First-line therapy typically involves continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), while lifestyle measures such as increased exercise and weight loss are also beneficial [3]. However, CPAP adherence is often underwhelming, with adherence rates ranging from 34% to 85% [4-7]. Patients often present to the otolaryngologist for further evaluation of CPAP alternatives.
