just a curious question

With all that air pressure coming through my nasal pillow, how come I do not feel the rush of air through my nose, or my throat??

Well Kenny, if you open your mouth and relax your throat there will be a rush of air. The answer is in your question. It's air pressure that is holding the airway open, not the movement of air.

I've wondered the same thing. You really get quite a blast of air coming out the tube when you take it off.

I've wondered the same thing. It is a lot of air going through my nose and down my throat, and thankfully I don't notice it!
