The business model here makes you buy the device (expensive) which doesn't work properly so you have to big the app. It prays on sick people to charge a fortune for indirect access to an app which is inadequate.

The earpieces are very uncomfortable. Even after a 15 minute session I don’t want to do anymore because I know my ear is going to be sore for at least an hour. I can pay 56$ for a comfortable aftermarket part supposedly. The original earpieces should never be sent out and I will not put another penny into this product. Non refundable it’s only been 2 weeks

I’ve been using this device for three months and it has made a significant difference. I have celiac disease which has led to serious motility disorders. I had severe regular bloating and esophageal pain managed by strong meds. The meds are vagus nerve related so I thought this could work. It has. My severe bloating has all but disappeared allowing me to slowly normalise my diet (from a low fibre, fodmap-adjacent diet). I sleep better, I feel less stressed, have less pain and have much better energy. I notice if I don’t use it, Yes, learning to get the ear pieces in is tricky initially. They felt awkward and sore at first. The gel does irritate my ears a bit. I got the premium app but tend to use one of the pre set programs so didn’t need to. The HRV measurement is interesting but not sure it’s accurate and sometimes it is buggy. It’s goes through batteries rapidly. But all of this pales next to the benefits to my health which are only increasing the longer I use it.

I have had gut issues for years, and while this is not a miracle cure, I have noticed a big difference. Less bloating, fewer cramps, and just a general feeling of things working better down there.

I’m shocked that this company sells a very expensive product and doesn’t tell you that it is virtually worthless unless you buy an additional subscription tgat kets you use the device as it was designed. Its like buying a Ferrari and finding out you can only use it in first gear unless you pay for a subscription. Dishonest

My daughter has dyautonomia. This seems to help. She trialed a Stim device that was worn for 24 hours for 5 straight days. That worked better. The reason for the 4 stars is you need to purchase the $100 app if you want to wear it more than 15 minutes. Also, you can only wear it 30 minutes at a time. It doesn't allow more minutes. Update: Contacted by the company. I didn’t need to purchase the $100 app to gain more time. Daughter is successfully wearing it daily. It has kept her nausea away.

Vagustim's customer service was really difficult to get a hold of, but once I managed, they were very receptive, helpful, and thoughtful. They do have to correct on their website that they have 24/7 customer service. I have only tried the device a few times. It was relaxing, but Efi mentioned that they are coming out with a new style of ear piece that is easier to work with, and I am looking forward to the new ear model, as mine tend to fall out of my ears easily. I only gave a three stars as I need more time using them to decide.

The device came quickly and well packaged. It synced easily with the app. The sales staff have responded to my questions quickly. I have been using the device for 3 weeks, and I think it might be helping, but not sure yet. The instructions that came with the product were not very clear about how to attach device to ear and I had to ask for clarification. I was disappointed that the standard app only supports 15 minute sessions, although 30 minutes are recommended after 7 days. I find the container for dispensing the gel to be awkward and increasingly difficult to dispense as the bottle gets used.
