Noisy mask problem
I have had my Fisher and Paykel Simplus mask for about five years and have been very happy with it, until about two weeks ago. I did my usually weekly clean of mask, tube etc. That night I noticed that the mask was noisy when I breathe out. Since then it has either woken me or prevented me from getting to sleep each night.I have since replaced the cushion but that has made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas of the cause? I have no leakage from the mask according to Dreammapper.It isn't…See More

Hi, Judith-Ann, welcome to the forum. You asked how you could find out about your AHIs. I am not certain as I don't have that machine (mine is one of the S8 series), but I think the S9 Escape machine you are using may only give you the basic hours of use. Often the clinics seem to issue machines which give just this basic information.

Dentists in Hull that know about Mewing ?

Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry
Hi. I'm finding the Airsense 10 the hospital gave me, the humidifier chamber runs dry. It's not even on max settings, which I'm guessing would empty it a lot quicker. Seems like a big design oversight to me. Does anyone else have this trouble? The…See More
