Re: S9 ResMed - need much longer hose

Is it possible she is hearing leaks of some form? At different times, my wife says that the noise is coming from the machine. Other times, she says it's the mask. She's not a deep sleeper to begin with, and I think the CPAP machine makes the whole situation worse. You are using the Mirage FX nasal ...

S9 ResMed - need much longer hose

My wife complains about the "whoosing" noise that the machine makes at times during the night. It wakes her up and she can't get back to sleep. I thought I heard somewhere about a 50' long hose, so I could put the machine in the closet. But I've searched this forum and googled endlessly - no luck. D...

Re: Noisy ResMed CPAP - driving my wife crazy - DME not helpful

x509, what type of surface is your machine sitting on? I have my S9 on a solid wood night table on a carpeted floor, and it's whisper quiet. When I took it to my daughter's house this summer I set it on an Ikea nightstand (made of some kind of compressed particle-board material) and it was shocking...

Re: Noisy ResMed CPAP - driving my wife crazy - DME not helpful

If your mask is leaking, or if you are opening your mouth while sleeping, I'm pretty sure that I don't. there will be some noise. My hubby complains he hears noise when my nasal pillows are leaking. If you use nasal pillows try some Lanisoh to see if it might hold the pillows more securely and elim...

Re: Noisy ResMed CPAP - driving my wife crazy - DME not helpful

It might help if you could describe what type of "noise" you're dealing with. Air leak? Motor/whine? These machines are like "the luck of the draw". The vast majority are very quiet but some aren't. Sometimes not everything is hooked together correctly and can cause noise from air leaks. Den . Den,...

Noisy ResMed CPAP - driving my wife crazy - DME not helpful

I got a Resmed S9 with a Mirage FX face mask about a year ago. From the start, my wife has complained about the noise from both the machine and the face mask. She says that it starts off low, when we first go to sleep, but then gets much louder in the middle of the night. Sometime she has actually w...
