Sonu Is Turning Sound Therapy Into The Next Wave Of Wearable Wellness

Tanya Benedicto Klich - Jun 27, 2025

There’s nothing pretty about allergies, and the Sonu wearable aims to fix that.

Puffy eyes. A red, runny nose. Scratchy throat. And that’s nothing compared to the sinus pressure, brain fog, and relentless congestion that turns everyday tasks into uphill climbs. For many, over-the-counter meds only pile on side effects: drowsiness, rebound symptoms, or risky drug interactions. Suddenly, the cure can feel as miserable as the cause.

But what if relief came from something far simpler? Like sound?

The SONU Band, a headband-style device from medical tech startup SoundHealth uses personalized sound wave stimulation to clear nasal congestion in minutes. First cleared for adults, it recently received FDA de novo approval for kids as young as 12, positioning it as a lifestyle-friendly alternative to pills, sprays, and steroids.

“Nasal congestion and allergies don’t have to be life-altering,” said SoundHealth Founder and CEO Dr. Paramesh Gopi. “We’re thrilled to now be able to offer relief to children … and continue working to help people breathe better.”
