Re: Air leaking out of face mask

I am interested in any replies to this issue. I start the night with evenything adjusted, secure, leak-free, etc. But during the night it somehow gets loose and I wake up from all the noise the leaks make. Then I tighten and tighten until I wake up with bruises. I have taken to putting a band-aid on...

My AHI is 19.5, desaturation 86% (I don't understand what that means) and my PLM index is 35.2. I have gone through four face ...
