That helps in two ways.. First if the power goes out, you can run off one for quite some time if you need to, not ...

silly question but...
has anyone heard of hearing loss as a byproduct or Symptom of apnea.
My hearing is always worse when I am overtired. at the end of
the day I am Struggling to hear things.
I used to get horrible ringing in my ears, but since Cpap that has gone away.
I know I am reaching. LOL
