Here's a picture of me and my son-Sean. Sean was born 3lbs 2oz. and spent just over a month in a NICU getting ready to come home. He is the inspiration behind Sonicu. It was during Sean's NICU stay that I truly realized how precious life was and how wonderful the doctors and nurses were in NICUs.
They and their patients truly deserve the best of care.

Chris, I was fortunate enough to view the new Sonicu system at the Graven's meeting in Clearwater this year. I can't wait to have the system put into our hospital to help control noise levels for the babies!

Dear Mr. Chris Smith, please accept my compliments for your achievement in getting NICUs to lower their sound levels, and also for your perception that the light levels there were wrong. I want to draw your attention to the eye damage which the fluorescent lamps in NICUs routinely cause to preemies, as documented on my page http://retinopathyofprematurity.org/01summary.htm. I hope you will be able to make neonatologists understand the dangers of their current nursery lighting just as you did with their nursery noise. I look forward with great interest to hearing from you. Sincerely, Peter Aleff

Congratulations! Wonderful product. You might consider expanding the unit to other hospital areas.(Emergency, Intensive care) I am a Registered Nurse and in the late 60's worked in the Shock Trauma Unit at University Hospital in Baltimore MD. It was a small research unit and we only admitted patients who were extremely ill. (gunshot wounds, stabbings etc) The mortality rate was 80%. I worked the night shift and in the time that I worked there, not a single patient expired during my shift. I attributed it to the fact that I kept the sound levels low, the lights dimmed and was very gentle in handling the patients.
