I've been using an AirFit F10 full-face mask for seven months now. I've had various issues with it, but overall it's been okay. I'd like to use nasal pillows instead, and have an AirFir P10 setup, but my nasal passages just aren't clear enough to make this work. A couple of weeks ago, I had oral su...

you are more than welcome, and I hope you have good luck with the F10, it's a popular mask. also, I second librarylady's recommendation of mask liners, Karen at padacheek.com is a really nice lady who started her business to help folks like us sleep better... and she offers a quality product, and w...

I'd definitely try a mask liner, like Padacheek, with that - I have an F10, and when my mouth falls partly open at night, the shape of my face changes enough to cause leaking at the bottom corners of the mask, with, yes, a whooshing noise. While a Ruby chinstrap helped, using a liner seems to seal ...

When using full face masks, if your jaw drops and your mouth opens, does the loud whooshing noise still occur? For anyone using hybrid full face masks, does the whooshing noise occur? SS, I use a ResMed S9 and an Innomed Hybrid mask. Yes, when my jaw drops the noise level of the air does increase a...

I've been using a ComfortGel nasal mask for years and have been alternating during the last year with a TAPPAP nasal mask, which I like even better than the ComfortGel. Unfortunately, my jaw has started to drop open during the night, causing a very loud whooshing noise that wakes up my husband. I'v...

well, depending on how flappy one's face gets... CPAP can do a lot, but unfortunately, "flappiness" is probably out of the prescribed treatment possibilities.... well, I meant, specifically, (when the question was about someone's mouth opening (flappy jaw)) that with a ffm, if you open your mouth w...

I have a question. I am 31 years old and suffer from OSA. I've had my CPAP for 1 years now. Starting my CPAP treatment actually tiggeren Rosacea.... So currently I am using Finacea as treatment. My question is: I don't suppose inhaling Finacea vapors is quite healthy, and I have to put it og mornin...

Hi Tan, I wear a dental mouthguard on my lower teeth for teeth grinding and the TAPPAP has a mouthpiece that goes on my upper teeth. When I use my ComfortGel nasal mask, I wear just the dental mouthguard on the lower teeth. I tried a couple different chin straps along with the mouthpieces and had l...

I get mine from Amazon as well. JDS74, can you tell me please which one, in particular, works for you (manufacturer/model)? How do you find the right size? This is the one I purchased. Duro-Med Soft Foam Cervical Collar 2-1/2 Width, White, X-Large I guessed about the size. Remember when you are lyi...

I found a video that shows how to measure for the cervical collar size at: http://www.coreproducts.com/universal-foam-collar.html

Try a soft cervical collar. The whoosh is a leak as your jaw moves downward. If the mask fits without leaks early in the evening, then it should fit all night long. The cervical collar supports the jaw preventing movement down which can displace the FFM and cause leaks. Hi JDS74 and Tan, I'll give ...
