CPAP and ear plugs

My husband has allergies and snores like a freight train. I got some ear plugs so I don't kill him in his sleep. I had trouble sleeping, woke up and took my cpap off about 3:30. Could it be the ear plugs that are messing with the increased pressure of the cpap?

Re: Nasal Mask Causing Jaw Bone Loss??

I can't speak to bone loss - but I have braces and asked my orthodontist if using a CPAP mask would mess up my teeth since it sits right above the top teeth. He said not to worry. Of course, I am 50 years old so my face is most likely done growing!

Nasal Pillow Help

Just got the Opus 360 Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear It didn't bother me in the office - but trying to use it at home made me crazy. I didn't feel like I could breath with it in. Any suggestions on how to transition to this? I want to be able to sleep without the bigger mask on my face. Thanks

Replacing Filters

Do you have to use the replacement filters supplied by your insurance company, or would you be able to use filters for use in other things (cut to size).

Could you use hepa filters and just cut them down to fit the slot on the back of the machine?

New mask

Have a follow-up next week and want a new mask. I wear glasses and really can't put them on to see the clock or anything at night/early morning. Don't need a full-face mask. what are your favs for nasal mask or the kind that just go in the nostrils? Want some pros and cons so I know what to look/ask...
