Re: Loosing sleep please help

Some leaking is normal venting....do you feel air escaping down by where the hose attaches to the nasal pillow? Look closely down there and you should see a little bunch of weblike holes...those are for normal venting. I just received this new P10 mask a few minutes ago. I suspect what you are feel...
