New to group, Question
Question:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I am really having a trying time. Just to tired to think, I don’t hear the machine, I just hear air blowing. Maybe my mouth is dropping open. I have been dx with sleep apnea for about a Year and a half now. Slept real good at first. No dreams, No sleep walking, and no nightmares…Now, can’t sleep at all. Thanks again, I will keep reading the postings, and hopefully get some ideas. SSB

Someone, Are you using the Nasalaire interface? I’ve heard that they made a newer one, Nasalaire II that is much quieter than the original. If you are using the original Nasalaire, maybe you can contact your supplier about trying the II.

How long have you been using CPAP? I found that it sounded like an airplane at first, but got barely noticeable the longer I used it. My pressure is set at 11.

I became a Hoover Head the weekend before Labor Day 1998. (Easy to remember exactly when.)

I am new to the group, but, would like to ask a question. I have had bariatric surgery, I was 283lbs, Diabetic, dx, with Sleep Apnea, & COPD, and Arthritis, and Lower back pain. I still have all of the above, except I now weigh 158lbs. I have been re-avaluated 2x’s since losing weight. My machine is set at 7, and I use a warm air humidifier. I have been having trouble sleeping. I use the nose Hose..I don’t know the official name of it, the one like an oxygen mask. I hear the air blowing all night, and can’t sleep. It’s driving me crazy. So, I have been sleeping without my machine. So, basically I haven’t been sleeping. I toss and turn all night long. Does Anyone have any suggestions, on what I can do to cut down the noise. I am soooo tired…Thanks…(SSB)

is the noise from the machine or the mask? if it’s the machine, and it’s a really old model, the newer models are typically quieter if it’s the mask, you may be experiencing problems with leaks – a mask that isn’t fit properly or doesn’t seal properly can be noisy if it’s leaking. if you’re not experiencing mask leaks and the mask is just too noisy, consider one of the Fisher & Paykel masks, they have a diffuser that makes them very quiet. — Beth in Australia (I am not a qualified medical professional and unless I quote sources anything posted by me is my opinion only and you should always check with your doctor) ============================================= Sleep Disorders Newsgroup FAQ Website http://talhost.net/sleep Newsgroup archives http://www.talhost.net/sleep/archives.htm =============================================
