Quiet Mask

I'm trying to find the quietest mask, any suggestions? My husband can't sleep because of the noise the air vents make on my comfort gel mask. My tech is recommending I try the Acclaim. Has anyone tried that? I hate to keep trying masks because then I have to wait 3 months to try another one (I also tried using a nasal pillow and while that was more comfy it was extremely noisy)

Any recommendations??

I find the Breeze to be a quiet nasal pillow interface.

If you're willing to try a nasal mask, the Fisher Paykel Flexifit 407 is extremely quiet. It has a built in filter in the exhaust port that diffuses the exhaust air and doesn't make any noise at all and you can hardly feel the air coming out in front of the port when you put your hand right in front of it. I just can't stand a mask of any kind. I'm too claustrophobic but for people you can use them, I think this one has to be one of the quiestest. I'm not sure about comfort. It was fairly comfortable for a mask to me but than again, I hate masks of any kind. I stick with the Breeze Nasal Pillows. It makes little or no noise also.

Has anyone heard of the Hush by Tiara Medical Systems. Lincare just told me its a new mask that has no noise. I'm going to check it out next week.
