Short YouTube interview-style clip (Oct 17, 2023) in which speakers discuss humming/acoustic vibration as a simple way to increase nasal nitric oxide — described as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and a vasodilator. Josh Trent recounts lifelong sinus struggles and multiple interventions (turbinate reduction, balloon sinuplasty, repeated antibiotics). A clinician-style speaker notes nasal obstruction/congestion affects ~20–30% of the U.S. population and has broad impacts on sleep, cognition, mood, and mental health.

Monks hummed, right?
Yeah.
Why were they doing that? To clear their head. Humming or acoustic vibration, is well known to increase the body's production of nasal nitric oxide. And nitric oxide is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal. It's a vasodilator.
I had struggled with sinus issues my entire waking life. You name it, I've done it. Whether it's the turbinate reduction or the balloon sinuplasty or. Or the multiple rounds of antibiotics, like it was really a struggle.
Nasal obstruction, nasal congestion, super common problem. Can be from allergic or non allergic triggers. Affects 20, 30% of the population in the U.S. but it's not just a nose problem. It affects your sleep, it impairs your cognition, your mood. You get depressed, you get anxious. There are a whole variety of effects. If you can't breathe through your nose.
Can we stimulate the vagus nerve with acoustic energy? Yeah.
