Thanks Liz, I actually found that one. I guess I am the worrywort personality that I just want someone to verify that I am not going to test the coverage limits of my life insurance policy by doing this. From what I understand 7 is low and a change to an 8 probably won't be noticeable. Just want a l...

It has been many many moons since my last sleep study. I want to say 1999.....and I started and stayed on a 7 setting since then. I've gained a little weight since then and while most nights my settings work okay I sometimes end up snoring through the mask. It's worse if I take something to help me ...

Thanks all. Sorry I misspoke and didn't put all of the information in play. My ex-employer (from her on referred to satan inc) is going to pay the first 30 days of Cobra and after that I will go on my wife's insurance until I get a new job. I have an interview tomorrow morning and if I get that job ...

Hello all, I receive my new cpap a handful of months ago and my insurance company was renting it for me. I think the rental term was 12 months. However, I was laid off from my job last Tuesday (while on vacation no less) along with 30% of the rest of my company. So now I am wondering what happens to...

Hi, I would swear that I already posted this but maybe I failed to hit the submit button. I see many people here discussing their sleep performance via their software. I am just now getting a machine that will gather data on my sleep but I am not sure what value it would be to me. Can someone please...

I just did some testing of my own on the System One. If I take BOTH of the filters out then the machine greatly quiets down but there is a difference. So clearly the sound being sucked through the filters is a big portion of the noise but not all of it. But clearly I can't use the machine without a ...

Right Uvula, I have the System One and am considering going to the S9. The System one isn't loud, its just that the sound it makes (much less than my Polaris I am getting rid of) is intermittent. When exhaling, no sound at all. When inhaling, vast difference. So I end up listening to myself breathe....

Thanks Rogue Uvula. So if I am reading you right, you don't notice any difference in sound from the filter area of the machine when inhaling vs exhaling? I even thought that the double filter on the System One (white first, foam outer) might have been the problem so I tried it with just the white, j...

I was laying awake last night trying my best to breathe lightly so I didn't disturb my wife but would end up taking a huge breath in.....sounded like a wind turbine starting up! When my wife got up and plugged in my old machine so she could use it as anti-noise for the System One, I unplugged the wi...

Edited to add that it isn't the noise level of the machine, it is the intermittent level of complete quiet and then whoooosh then quiet then whooosh. My wife started complaining about the machine snoring instead of me....then it began getting to me also.

Hi all, The Philips System One is history...toast...out the door. I unplugged it last night and went back to my old Polaris model. I talked with my DME company and they suggested I try the Resmed S9. The ultimate problem with the System one is that tiny filter through which the entire inhalation air...

Yep Beth, that's it. I just need that little accordian tube thing to go up and down as I breathe and it would be just like at the hospital. I checked it last night and put the mask on....there's the normal mask sounds which I am used to from the vent port. But the lionshare of the noise is coming fr...

Hi all, I switched on Friday from an old Polaris model CPAP machine to a Respironics One CPAP machine. My old Polaris machine has a consistent sound (within a tiny variance) whether I am breathing in or out. In other words, constant white noise. My new machine is the bomb except for one thing...the ...
