• What power level should I use Modius at?

  Modius has power levels ranging from 1 to 10. When starting to use your Modius, it's important not to have the power level set too high a level at the start. Even if you can't feel the sensation much, your body will still need time to get used to the vestibular stimulation provided by the headset. Everyone will have a different sensitivity to the stimulation but we would recommend starting at no higher than level 3 for your first five sessions and only increase very gradually over timeSome readers

• How can I avoid side effects?

  Firstly it's important to note that the vast majority of people use Modius without any side effects whatsoever, and most find the stimulation provided by the headset to be a relaxing experience.

• Does Modius have to be attached behind my ears?

You must never apply it anywhere else on the body, particularly on the head or chest.Few readers

• How much weight can I expect to lose?

  This is a question without an exact answer. Every individual responds to Modius differently, and it depends on how much you weigh when you begin using the headset. In a four-month clinical study, participants demonstrated an average fat reduction of 8% with the highest being 16%. As the scales are not the best indicator of success, we encourage users to take body measurements at the start of their Modius journey.Some readers

  Once you reach your target weight, you might find that you can decrease the number of sessions required each week.

• Will more than one person be able to use the same device for an hour each day in the future?
