Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Ages 12-15
Pediatric subjects aged 12-15 years
Sonu consists of an acoustic Vibrational Headband worn circumferentially at the level of the forehead; and a Smartphone App, paired to the Headband. The App determines acoustic resonant frequencies of the subject's nasal cavity (using the facial image) and delivers treatment through bone conduction transducers in the headband
Other: Ages 16-21
