Inspire Implant : My Journey - Apnea Board
Mar 2, 2020 · I have just recently had a discussion with my wife and was investigating doctors in my area that work with Inspire. I started CPAP in 2002 and moved to Bi-Pap 2017. I can tolerate Bi-Pap successfully but would love to replace it with Inspire. Please keep going with your Inspire usage, the good parts and the drawbacks. Thank you so much for sharing.

After a couple of months you go back to a sleep study and get titrated. I had to increase after that and had a home sleep study. I was having 65 apneas an hour. I am now down to 7.

It is not for everyone, and specifically it's not for severe or very severe apnea. It only has about a 50% efficacy, much less than CPAP.
