Dream wear nasal mask

Post by Cbuchanan » Fri Nov 26, 2021 5:17 am

I am totally new to the CPAP world and I just got my machine and mask. I got the dreamwear under the nose nasal mask (because I am known for pulling things off my face when I sleep). The problem I've been having is that there is a high pitched squeal coming from the mask through the vent in the front. Is this normal or should I try another mask?

That is not normal. Likely it's a defective cushion. I would ask your supplier for a replacement.

Make sure that the nasal cushion is securely seated into the body of the mask. If that's the case, sounds defective to me.

If you washed the cushion before putting it on there could be moisture blocking some holes. Use a toothpick to make sure the holes are clear.

The DreamWear vent holes aren't so small that a toothpick is needed to maybe unblock the holes.
