avi, everyone's experience is unique. That's why. Sorry to hear of your tinnitus. I have had it also and it can be incredible annoying.avi123 wrote:The sound of the air in tube and the sound from the air pump inside the S9 Elite are quite load, especially if you use EPR. Many users complain about these noises as annoying. So why are you comparing those annoying sounds to mosquito walking on the ceilings?
As to Tinnitus, I been CPAPING for three years and my Tinnitus got worse.
Those of us with hearing loss do not find the S9 pump to be loud at all. I cannot hear the pump at all and barely hear the air moving through the tubing. (I use the EPR but I have a low pressure so maybe that's why it is not so loud)) My husband, who has better than good hearing can hear it, but he finds it all to be like white noise and it doesn't bother him at all.
I have no hopes of the CPAP improving my hearing in my right ear, as I have no hearing bones left there and wear a hearing aid on that side. I have had eustachian tube dysfunction my whole life and I have noticed my left eustachian tube much more open in the last week since I started CPAP. My left ear easily pops now whereas it did not before. Although I do have some hearing loss on the left it was not bad enough for a hearing aid. Judging any hearing change will have to be subjective though because I have not had an audiology exam on that ear in about two years (I think!)
