What is the difference between a snore microphone and a snore sensor?
A snore microphone is as the name implies, a small microphone that can record the sound of a patient’s snoring. The sound waves are picked up and shown as signals on the recorder’s screen. A snore sensor is a small Piezo crystal that is encapsulated in a plastic housing. The Piezo picks up the vibrations that are present during snoring. The sensor only picks up vibrations it will not pick up other sounds. Some technologists prefer the sensor because it is generally more durable than the microphone and is not affected by moisture.
