While CPAP helped Jay achieve some nights of restorative sleep, he still needed support for his ongoing breathing and allergy issues. That’s why he continued coming back to Chicago ENT. Over the years, Jay has worked with a range of specialists, including an allergy expert, a hearing specialist, a sleep apnea specialist, and Dr. Friedman himself.

Jay appreciates that every provider he sees is highly skilled in their field and that the process for addressing his health concerns is always clear, thorough, and well-organized. The continuity of care and expertise at Chicago ENT give him confidence that each visit will help him take the next step toward better overall health.

Jay’s experience at Chicago ENT extends beyond sleep apnea treatment. On Dr. Friedman’s recommendation, he also underwent balloon sinuplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked sinus passages. Jay only needed the procedure on one side, but the results were immediate and transformative.

He recalls, ‘From my door to Chicago ENT, the entire process was about 45 minutes. I had the procedure done, and less than an hour later, I was at a restaurant experiencing breathing like I never had before.’

Throughout all his visits, Jay has appreciated the team’s thorough guidance and caring approach. Every step of each procedure is clearly explained, ensuring patients know what to expect and feel supported along the way.

Sleep should evolve with you.

At Chicago ENT, we offer cutting-edge treatments for sleep apnea, including Inspire Therapy—a simple, outpatient procedure that uses hypoglossal nerve stimulation to keep the tongue from blocking the airway. It’s an effective solution for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, treating moderate to severe sleep apnea safely and comfortably.

With Inspire, patients gain control over their sleep, turning the device on or off at bedtime, and waking up refreshed. This is modern sleep medicine designed to fit your life—because better sleep isn’t just about the night, it’s about the quality of your days too.

When Jay decided to move forward with Inspire therapy, our team at Chicago ENT thoroughly explained the procedure. While it is a surgical intervention, Inspire is minimally invasive, and we review the steps of the surgery, what to expect during recovery, and how to manage any discomfort.

For Jay, the surgery itself was quick—he arrived in the morning and was finished by mid-morning. Recovery was minimal; he only needed over-the-counter pain medication and was able to attend a neighborhood event the following day, experiencing only mild discomfort. Inspire’s minimally invasive design allows patients to return to their daily activities quickly while beginning to experience the benefits of consistent, restful sleep.

The Inspire system comes with a simple, easy-to-use remote. Unlike a CPAP machine, which requires a large device, tubing, a power source, and distilled water, Inspire is compact and portable—it easily fits in a bag and requires minimal effort to use.

The remote has just two buttons: one to turn the device on and one to turn it off. When activated, the remote lights up green to indicate Inspire is working, white when it is off, and flashes slowly green during startup or pause mode. For patients, this simplicity makes Inspire a seamless part of their nightly routine—no setup, no hassle, just consistent, restful sleep.

Inspire is a small, pacemaker-sized device that is implanted in the chest. A wire runs from the device to the hypoglossal nerve at the base of the tongue, and an additional sensor monitors breathing. As you inhale, Inspire stimulates the nerve to gently move the tongue out of the airway, allowing for unobstructed breathing. When you exhale, natural air pressure keeps the airway clear.

The device is easy to use—a simple remote activates Inspire before bed, and after a brief delay, it begins working while you sleep. Patients often notice the simplicity: once it’s on, they can go to sleep and wake up the next morning without having to think about it. For Jay, what was once a new and unfamiliar process has become effortless, providing consistent, restful sleep night after night.

Your health deserves expert attention.

High calcium or parathyroid hormone levels, osteopenia, osteoporosis, or recurring kidney stones can all point to parathyroid disease. At Chicago ENT, our specialists bring decades of experience—having treated thousands of patients with parathyroid and thyroid conditions.

Today, parathyroid disease can often be treated with a minimally invasive procedure that takes as little as 15 minutes, resolving a serious, chronic problem quickly and safely.

12/26/2025

At Chicago ENT, we’re pioneers in the treatment of sleep disorders — leading research, innovation, and patient care for decades.
With over 200 peer-reviewed publications, our team continues to develop minimally invasive solutions that truly fit each patient’s needs.
Because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to better sleep.

After experiencing inconsistent results with CPAP, Jay began exploring Inspire therapy—a solution designed to provide more consistent, effortless sleep. With Inspire, he no longer needed to worry about mask fit or nightly setup. He could simply turn it on, go to sleep, and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Like many patients who have struggled with poor sleep for years, Jay was initially skeptical that any treatment could make a real difference. Today, however, he continues to experience the benefits. Even on busy days, he notices the energy and alertness that come from a truly restful night—something that felt impossible for years. For Jay, Inspire has transformed sleep from a nightly challenge into a reliable foundation for daily life.
