Airfit f20 farting

Post by cuellaa@yahoo.com » Sat Dec 02, 2023 12:26 pm

Mask sounds like fart upon exhaling intermittently. The pressure builds up, then mask feels like it inflates, then upon exhaling air escapes near right lip and cheek. I have tried adjusting the straps w/o success. Some videos suggested ‘jaw drop’ as the cause, but did not offer any solutions. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

there are two ways to keep the jaw from dropping, a chinstrap or a firm foam cervical collar.

i recommend the latter.

good luck!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

The mask is supposed to inflate...thats what makes the seal. If there is farting, it is a fitting problem.
