THE SPEAKEASY is a simple device that enables people with sleep apnea or other types of pressurized air flow treatments to talk comfortably while using a CPAP machine, respirator or oxygen mask. The single-part valve makes it easy to say goodnight to your spouse, answer the phone or sneeze without having to take off the mask or reset the machine.

​The SpeakEasy "Pinch to Talk" technology is protected by US patents.

I built this machine to cycle test the SpeakEasy, which is a requirement of the FDA approval process.
