“The Hic-Cup” Anti-hiccup Device: New Innovation Embraced by Media, Communications Professionals, and Singultus Sufferers Alike


One month ago, The Hic-Cup Ltd., an emerging health and medical device innovator, released their flagship product, The Hic-Cup as a reliable, safe and discreet treatment for singultus, or chronic hiccups. Since then, the patented Class I medical device has been embraced by singultus sufferers worldwide, grateful for a serious solution to this distressing condition. In addition, according to a company spokesperson, communications experts, including broadcast professionals covering the story, have quickly recognized the potential of the Hic-Cup as peak performance insurance and they have been rushing to purchase it for themselves.


According to WebMD, "A hiccup is an involuntary spasmodic contraction of the muscle at the base of the lungs (diaphragm) followed by the rapid closure of the vocal cords." Despite the jokes and folklore remedies surrounding the condition, chronic hiccups classify as a legitimate medical problem that affects people of all ages. The Hic-Cup affords singultus sufferers a sanitary medical device, completely free of side-effects or risk, to control embarrassing, disruptive and often painful bouts of hiccups.


Singultus also detracts from professionalism and credibility during public speaking occasions. According to Phil Ehlinger, CEO of The Hic-Cup Ltd., "The Hic-Cup is ultra low cost 'professional performance insurance' for speakers, teachers, broadcasters, performers, sales professionals, and everyone who uses their voice as a business tool." Philadelphia talk radio host Michael Smerconish has led discussion on the device on several shows while television news stations have been reporting on the Hic-Cup nationwide. The “anti-hiccup” cup has quickly become a “must-have” item for reporters, disc jockeys, and speakers. Many articles and blog posts have already appeared on the Web about the Hic-Cup and the emergence of singultus as a post modern performance problem.


Using natural galvanic action to stimulate the Vagus and Phrenic nerves, the Hic-Cup administers quick, safe, pain-free sub-sensory bio-electric therapy to re-establish proper function of the esophagus and diaphragm. Constructed of stainless steel and brass, the device affords its owners with an attractive, durable, portable and easily cleaned apparatus for controlling singultus outbreaks. Thanks to the Hic-Cup, hiccup sufferers can be liberated from this plaguing condition.


Chronic hiccup sufferers report their condition as more than just a distressing nuisance. Singultus adversely affects the ability to perform activities requiring precision work and focused concentration - including but not limited to machinery operation, golfing, archery, darts, target shooting, sculpting, painting, and many other skills. Even poker players report that a case of hiccups can ruin their performance. In cases where laser-focused concentration, a calm demeanor, and a steady hand are critical, the Hic-Cup offers immediate protection from disruptive hiccups for better job/skill performance and increased confidence.
