Well, Tom, I don't play my acoustical guitar while sleeping. Can't help you.
Seriously, what is acoustical or acoustial (you spelled both ways) vibrations? Flutters of the throat/soft palate tissues?

GHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA! I peeked! So, you are exactly the opposite of me. I started with the Ultra Mirage FF, went to the Swift pillows, and you did the reverse. Good luck to you. My sinuses actually feel better on the Swift . When I removed it this morning, both sides felt clearer than they've felt i...

I never felt foggy, but awoke each morning feeling so tired, like I'd been climbing a mountain all night. I'd start the day slow, but by an hour or so after arising, I'd get myself into gear. Then about 2 p.m. I would need a nap, and if I didn't get it, I'd have trouble holding my eyes open the rest...

Success Story

I just spent my third night with the Swift pillow interface. The first two nights I loved the comfort of it, but I think when I would roll over or something during the night, if the hose or whatever bothered me, I would chuck off the mask. Last night I told myself before going to sleep that when I w...

I think you are right. I know I turn the heat on to begin with, but I do believe when I picked the mask up and put it on again, I didn't turn on the heat. For one thing, the machine turned itself back on! I didn't know it would do that. I put it on my face and was still adjusting things, when I gues...

I have a BiPAP and it works great. No gripes. But my pressures are 9 and 5.
A big difference from yours.
Good luck.

Insurance

The funny thing is, we did have a fire extinguisher. My husband has taught safety classes in his work for many years, just one part of his job. About 5 years before the grease fire, he showed me how to work the extinguisher. I forgot. After throwing the pan back on the stove, briefly considering thr...

Sleepless, good show! Glad your new strap worked.
Read my post regarding the Swift I just received yesterday, and tried out last night.

Well, fellow CPapers, I had my first night on the Swift . I couldn't believe it was so easy, other than putting it on backwards and thinking, "What the heck?" Didn't take me long to change that. One set of pillows was already on when I received it, so I just left them on. Magically, it seems I got a...

My Swift pillow interface came today

Hi ya'll, Most of you know I am a mouth breather and have an Unltra Mirage FF mask. I got just real jealous, though, because most of you have multiple masks. So I ordered the Swift pillows, don't have a clue how I'll keep my mouth shut, but will look in my drawers and see if I can find a headband. M...

Speaking of insurance companies in general...We paid our homeowners' insurance for years and years and years. Then around 2000, we awoke at 2 a.m. Christmas morning to find a pipe under the kitchen sink had separated. 4 rooms flooded, Christmas gifts floating, floors ruined along with some brand new...
