In a recent thread, I was kindly informed that the stupid flimsy cheap filtered-clip that keeps falling off my poorly designed F&P Eson 2 is a "diffuser" which cuts down on the output noise.

I have a couple of hospital-equipment masks which do not have that error-prone stupid diffuser clip, but I don't have a source for a mask that is a single piece without that stupid flimsy diffuser clip yet.

But I have no way of ordering more of those, as they were given to me by the nurse during my previous hospital visits.

Given I prefer KISS designs which have no additional unnecessary error-prone flimsy clips, is there a mask model that you're happy with, which does NOT have that crappy design of a separate piece for the diffuser clip?

You might be using the only nasal mask that has a clip-on diffuser. Check out all the masks here, look at the ratings and read some reviews. https://www.cpap.com/plp/nasal-cpap-masks/ZT0yNjQ
