I already have a white noise machine running at night. Since I like to sleep on my side, I don't think headphones would work well. They wouldn't be comfortable between my head and my pillow and even if they were somehow, they'd probably come off in the night.

I think that's the cause but I can't be sure. All I know is that sleeping on my side causes a lot of noise as I breathe - deeper-pitched noises like, say breathing through a mask, and higher pitched noises like squeaky, whiny noises like air leaking through a small opening.

I've been using a Phillips Respironics System One with a nasal pillow mask for years. I use a cpap pillow with the usual cutouts and like to sleep on my side.

I guess your gauze covers the exhale port on your mask. Mine would have to cover the exhaust port at the bottom of the clear hard plastic connecto...

I've been using cpap for a number of years now due to mild/moderate sleep apea. I started with a nose mask (covers the nose) and it leaked everywhere and drove me nuts. I switched to nasal pillows and adjusted to them pretty easily, EXCEPT... I use a Phillips Nuance Pro Nasal Pillow Mask size XL and...
