Has anyone had any experience with the Nasal Aire II ? I was thinking of getting it.

Guest,

I used the original ones for about 9 months. It was usable, but seemed quite loud. If you sleep with your head on your hand, the sound of the air going through the tubing will telegraph to your jaw and into your ear. Later I discovered that if it seals right it is not as loud. In the mean time I discovered the Activa, and have used it for a couple of years now.

Gary, I've used the original Nasalaire and the II for 3 years. Both are loud compared to nasal pillows. I recently switched to Aura Headrest pillows, and they are quiet. I won't go back to Nasalaire.

Nasalaire II

Post by neverbetter » Fri Feb 10, 2006 2:54 pm

I am still on Nasalaire II. I like it very much and although I hear how wonderfull the new headgear is on these forums, I don't use the headgear at all. I just wear it behind my ears with the little black loop. It holds nice and tight. Very comfortable. My new one came with a comfort guarantee in case I wanted to try another size, they send the cannula for free. This is my second in two months because my sons new puppy got to it.
