Hale's proprietary shape is informed by CT data collected at Johns Hopkins. Hale was meticulously designed by Dr. Patrick Byrne, who has over two decades of experience in diagnosing and treating nasal obstruction in the operating room. This barely visible ergonomic device is designed to maximize breathing and comfort while dramatically increasing airflow through the nose. Whereas other brands were designed with nasal stents in mind, Hale's design was inspired by the typical cartilage grafts used in functional rhinoplasty to improve nasal breathing. In effect, Hale mimics the same effect as nasal reconstructive surgery.

Once you find the right size you should feel a noticeable increase in airflow through the nose immediately. Hale is designed to enhance your sleep quality and experience a range of individual health benefits, including reduced daytime drowsiness, improved mood, enhanced concentration, and boosted memory.

We recommend trying all three sizes of Hale breathing aids to determine your ideal fit. The left-sided dilator of each pair is labeled with a circled size marker as shown. If you are unable to fit the dilator entirely into your nose or experience sharp pain, try a smaller size. If the dilator can wiggle freely or feels loose in the nose, try the next size up.

Finding the right size is important because when you find your ideal fit you will notice:
-An immediate and significant improvement in nasal airflow
-The dilator fits entirely beyond your nostril while the septum band sits snugly between your nostrils
-The dilator feels secure and stays in place after several breaths

Do not wear the Hale Breathing aid for more than 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

Wash your hands and the Hale breathing aid with warm water before and after each use.

Each Hale device is designed to last for 10 days of regular use. Your Hale breathing aids may last longer if you only wear them occasionally, for example during the night time or during exercise only.

Hale was designed for adults and should not be used on children under 12 years old.

For people suffering from sleep apnea, Hale is not a replacement for a CPAP machine. However, it may improve the performance of your CPAP if worn in conjunction with Hale. As with any medical condition, we advise you to check with your physician before using Hale.

Snoring is unique to each individual, with reasons varying from person to person. Hale is designed to enhance nasal breathing, boost airflow, and address issues like deviated septum, narrow airways, or congestion. These factors can lead to mouth breathing during sleep, causing the familiar snoring sound from throat tissue vibrations.

However, nasal breathing may not be the sole cause of snoring for everyone. Some may experience snoring due to lower airway obstructions or a combination of nasal and throat issues. If Hale is ineffective, then it would rule out nasal obstruction as a root cause for snoring. Consult your doctor or a sleep specialist for expert guidance on other potential causes.

Yes, Hale is made without natural rubber (latex). It is drug-free, BPA-free, silicone free, and acrylic free.

Wearing our device in your nose will likely be a new sensation. It may take up to two weeks for
your body to adjust fully. Please be patient during this acclimation period. The benefits of clear nasal breathing are well worth it.
When first using the Hale breathing aid, you may experience mild discomfort, a runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. These are normal and temporary occurrences.

Wear the device in short intervals for as long as you can, resting your nose for several hours in between. Gradually wear the device for longer intervals until the sensation becomes normal
and comfortable.
