Dry Ears

I've been using a CPAP for two years now and I notice that my ears are very dry. Its as if the pressure in my ears drys out the wax and at times causes irriation. Has anyone else had this problem. I have to use a very high pressure 13.5 so maybe that has something to do with my issues. Any thoughts....

Is anyone losing weight because of CPAP

Wondering if anyone has experienced a gradual weight loss after using CPAP. I've been using CPAP for 3 months and I seem be losing a pound every two weeks. Slow but steady

I've been on CPAP for about three months and my ears started bothering me as well.

The only issue I'm having is that I think the pressure is tweaking my ears a bit. I don't have any pain but the pressure in my right ear canal always feels a little off. Has any...
