CPAP and ear plugs

Post by Merryj » Fri Nov 15, 2013 4:08 pm

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?

There are different types of ear plugs. You may need some that are "vented".

Regarding ear plugs I prefer Ohropax earplugs from Germany. There are several US dealers that carry them. Wonderful product. I buy from Ear Plug Superstore.

Not vented like a manufactured products for airline flying but very comfortable to sleep in.
