COLUMBIA, S.C., October 1, 2020 – Developers of SinuSonic, a first of its kind medical device for natural relief of nasal congestion using acoustic humming and oscillating pressure, are celebrating the product’s first anniversary on the market providing a revolutionary, economical solution to congestion. To mark this occasion, SinuSonic is announcing its latest independent medical study in coordination with researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina. Participants will aid researchers in determining the efficacy of Sinusonic for treating Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) and sinus pain and pressure.
“These conditions are thought to occur due to an inability for patients equalize pressure in their middle ear or sinus cavities. This pressure builds up and causes pain,” explained Dr. Rodney Schlosser, Director of Rhinology and Sinus Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and co-Medical Director at SinuSonic. “Traditional treatments usually require more invasive procedures to alleviate the pressure build up, but SinuSonic may equalize these pressures simply by using acoustic energy and oscillating pressure.”
Originally developed to treat chronic nasal congestion without drugs or mess, SinuSonic offers patients the ability to treat moderate to severe nasal congestion by simply breathing into a device, triggering the application of gentle acoustic vibrations and light resistant pressure to provide natural relief. Results from an independent study published in the February 2020 edition of the International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology found more than 80 percent of trial subjects experienced clinically and statistically significant improvements in self-reported nasal congestion scores. Additionally, the SinuSonic device was found to be safe and well tolerated and improved objective AND subjective outcomes in chronic rhinitis. In fact, 87.5% of subjects would recommend SinuSonic to a friend or family member.
“When you’re bringing a new product to market and potentially expanding the market on its uses of treatment, providing the public with tangible facts, medical study results and validated support from specialty doctors in this arena is critical,” stated Dr. Zachary Soler, Associate Professor in the Division of Rhinology, also at the Medical University of South Carolina and co-Medical Director of SinuSonic. “The results from this study have tremendous potential in providing widespread relief for health issues affecting millions of Americans daily.”
Since launching in July 2019, SinuSonic is being used in all 50 states. To learn more or purchase a SinuSonic device, visit www.SinuSonic.com.

Dr. Schlosser authored a textbook on the management of sinus problems and more than 200 articles and chapters on sinus and nasal topics. He regularly travels the world to speak and teach courses on the latest medical techniques, including endoscopic sinus surgery and computerized image-guided surgery. Dr. Schlosser focuses on difficult adult and pediatric sinus cases involving a host of conditions including nasal obstruction, revision surgeries, sinonasal tumors, encephaloceles/cerebrospinal fluid leaks, severe nasal polyposis, smell and taste disorders, and congenital nasal disorders.
Dr. Zachary Soler
Dr. Soler is an Associate Professor in the Division of Rhinology, also at the Medical University of South Carolina. He attended medical school at Wake Forest University, followed by an ENT residency at Oregon Health and Sciences University. He then completed a fellowship dedicated solely to rhinology and endoscopic sinus surgery at Harvard Medical School. Remaining at Harvard, Dr. Soler devoted an additional year of study, earning a master’s degree in epidemiology.
Dr Soler has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles, most of which focus on outcomes after treatment of diseases of the nose and sinuses. He is a principal investigator on a multi-center NIH study examining outcomes in patients with chronic sinusitis. Dr. Soler’s clinical practice is dedicated primarily to diseases of the nose, sinuses, and skull base. He has particular expertise with difficult-to-manage cases of sinusitis, revision sinus surgery, and surgical treatment of sinonasal tumors.
