I am sorry to hear about your Hybrid Problems. I am scheduled to have a Fitting for the Hybrid Mask on the 8th of October but I am skeptical as if it will actually Happen as I have been trying to get The Mask Fitting for over a Month and the DME always comes up with some Excuse>>Rt Not available to Mask not in stock. Well, I did some self Research and The Mask is in stock at the WareHouse and My DME supposedly has a New RT now. My Question to current Hybrid Mask users is----Could I Possibly find the Right Fitting Myself if I just order the Mask myself from the WareHouse ? I am due a new Mask at present and I spoke to the WareHouse Rep and he said he would sent me the Hybrid in the Mail. I have a Decent DME but I am just tired of Messing with the Idiots who answer the Phone at my DME. Any Input on Self Fitting the Hybrid will be Appreciated . Thank You

Yes, many people have been able to comfortably self fit. It comes with a CD and there are lots of people here that use it and can offer little hints if you run into trouble.

I tried the Hybrid. Didn't watch the video closely enough so had trouble, went back and watched it again and finally got it figured out. No one helped me but myself so it is not that difficult.

Ozij - thanks for the tip!!!

Danny - the Hybrid (not the Liberty) comes with 3 sizes of nasal pillows and 3 sizes of cushions for around the mouth. AND, it comes with a video about fitting. I bet you can do it on your own!

If you're ordering it from your DME... make sure to get all 3 sizes (of pillows and cushions) if you want to fit it yourself. Some DME's will take parts out that they don't think that you "need"
