Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

Got the p10 adapter for the AirMini. It certainly doesn't seem any quieter. But, I'm gonna try to sleep with it tonight and we'll just have to see. Last attempt to use this thing before it goes back!

Re: first night with cpap a total failure - what now?

It's a start.
It sounds like you need some time to settle into it, and spending time awake on the machine, etc. is still good - you will likely get used to it, even if slowly.

Re: Medistrom Pilot-24 - Beeping Annoynace

Surprise update: FIXED! According to the manual, this error suggests an issue between the battery and the attached device. The only replaceable part was the cable, that I had to buy separately to attach the battery. It seemed fine ,but I ordered another just to see. Problem solved, I guess it was a ...

Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

Are y'all aware of the adapter that allows the use of any mask with the AirMini? https://www.cpap.com/products/zephair-airmini-universal-cpap-hose-mask-adapter Yea, that's what Im currently trying out. The regular p10 with slimline hose is quietest, but wow still SO much louder than when connected ...

Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

I've been having a slightly confusing conversation with Lofta regarding the AirMini noise, and there is just one thing left possibly try. But I'm not so sure about it. The concept is simply that the vents on the mask are the main source of increased noise when using the AirMini (which certainly seem...

Medistrom Pilot-24 - Beeping Annoynace

Hello all - I am preparing for a month of travel in Asia, and during that time I'll be in a few places with unstable power, i.e. generator power that occasionally shuts off for a few minutes at a time. I am testing the Medistrom Pilot-24 as a UPS/power solution and it looks promising. My original in...

Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

Shnoozer, Consider a 19mm CPAP Hose, I found it a bit quieter than a slim line hose. I am getting a hose cover today and that may help suppress the air noise. My DME didn't carry the bigger hose but I got it on Amazon about 2 weeks ago. Good luck. I have tried the climate line and slimline hoses, a...

Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

Does anyone have ANY ideas? There is an old cell phone on my nightstand. I downloaded a free white noise app. At a low volume, it covers all the noise from mask, hose and machine. The app has a selection of noises. The brown noise works best for me. This could work, but adding more noise to cover u...

Re: About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

Schnoozer, not sure if this is happening with you, but this happens to me with my AirMini. The hose is so light that if there's any slack in it, it will lay and drape across your face, and may end near your ear. I have found that by moving the hose away from me the mask noise decreases as it seems ...

About to give up on the AirMini (noise) - any last tips?

I got the AirMini and love how small it is! And i'ts pretty quiet. I was amazed that the machine doesn't make much more noise than my Airsense 11. But, no matter what I try - the MASK is somehow loud enough to be annoying to me and more so, my wife. The Darth Vader effect is coming directly from the...

Re: The new F & P Solo nasal pillow mask

If they could take the 'easy adjust' feature of the Solo, which I love, and make it quiet like the P10 I would love that!

Re: Any tips on how to interpret this data?

pugsy is spot on, though it pains me to say it. I know OP wants to titrate to perfection, but zero isn't what you should aim for. for many years, I chased zero. but it only came up every now and then. nowadays i'm aiming at an ahi of 2 or less as that seems to be what I can realistically achieve. S...

Re: Any tips on how to interpret this data?

If this were my data - and if it was a representative night - I'd set my minimum pressure at 7.2 or 7.4. I've slowly upped the pressure, now at 6.8. It's certainly improved. Is the goal to basically have zero instances of FL at the low pressure? I could increase it a bit more, but I wonder if there...

Re: Any tips on how to interpret this data?

I know it's easier said than done, but try to relax to it. all of this gets easier the longer you stick with it. I hear you :) I'm trying to just settle i and give it some time, but I love optimizing things in general and the CPAP is a big puzzle that includes hardware, software, metrics, graphs, e...

Re: Any tips on how to interpret this data?

in my humble opinion, if you are getting those nice low numbers AND are waking up refreshed, then those leaks don't matter. the only time it would matter is if the leaks are waking you up. then you have a problem. I hear you, and my AHI is certainly good! More and more I think Im fussing with the m...
