A device that allows you to almost instantly get rid of hiccups, was developed by Dr. Ali Seifi.

HiccAway resembles a drinking straw. One end of the straw is a standard hole. At the other end there is a valve that regulates the pressure and stops too fast suction of water. Due to this, a person who drinks water needs to make some efforts. During them, the diaphragm contracts, and uncontrolled air flows stop. And this phenomenon becomes the main cause of the onset of hiccups.

Most of the participants testing the device (249 people) confirmed that HiccAway helps to get rid of the obsessive state of diaphragm irritation. Volunteers noted that only a couple of attempts are enough to obtain a positive result. The devices can be configured for use by both adults and children.

Neurologist Ali Seifi decided to create HiccAway after treating patients whose hiccups were caused by traumatic brain injuries. But ending hiccups with an innovative straw is questionable, say skeptics. Since the subjects could feel the placebo effect. However, the device is already on sale. Its cost is 15 dollars.
