No rain out problem here. Mine is also set real high... forget how the numbers go, but its like 80% of the dial.

Earplugs..... ? Nah.... just take your hearing aids out. You'll be fine. Won't here a thing......hmmm.... ok... forget that one.

Well I was not given any choice either. I called them every other day and talked to the tech and I believe I basically bothered them to the point where they perscribed me a more advance machine that gives me the data. Squeky wheel gets the grease

I use Ambien. Noise and such is not an issue for me because I'm pretty much Deaf. My wife though says that the machine does not make much sound that she is aware of. As far as the mask goes, when I started CPAP I was so tired really that I just fell asleep, though like I said I also use Ambien. 1, 1...

Out of curiousty, which direction is the vent venting air on yours? Down or up? It should be venting up. I had the exact same problem and just so happened to be at the docs office for them to change some settings. I mentioned of the very sore nose and we found out that I had been wearing it backward...

So.... I call the tech and say that my AHI averages around 13 to 14 and would like to learn how to get that lower as I'm still dozzing. "Oh, you need to come in and we'll help you with that. The Doctor changed your pressure and we need to set it." Well.....I came in.... hey outside of recovering fro...

No dreams here still..... maybe thats a good thing with my mother-in-law though....

Just tell her to take her hearing aids out for the night.... you generally dont say much at 2am worth much anyways right... oh..... she might not be deaf.... gotcha

Well make sure, and this probably sounds ridiculous, that you are wearing it correct I found out that I was wearing my mask upside down. Still worked but after two weeks the peker hurts a bit.

Hello all. Thought to give an update. The Elite is going well. Woke up today with a sore thoat though that is still with me so I'll try to add more humidity tonight. My AHIs are between 9 and 13 which the doc says is normal.

I had a similar experience when they tried a mask that went over my nose. Kept breathing with my mouth cause I was not breating at all through my nose. They tried a pillow and that problem went away.

Well I went this morning to the DME to get the ResMed Elite. I was pretty civil till the fourth time she told me that this was the machine the doctor prescribed. I just flatly told her that he was not responsible for this. That I told him what I wanted. I wanted to be an active part of my therapy. S...

Hello all. Going back to the DME to pick up an Elite today. I'm sleeping ok but am waking up a few times at night. I'm sure the information that the elite gives could tell me if I'm waking up from apnea events at any rate.

Talk to you later!

Dont know why I keep posting as 'guest' grrr....

I thought I was going to die any moment from smashing in a tree at 45 MPH
