spouse nd cpap?

well, my sleep is better, but my dh cannot stand the sound of the machine?? I am using the breeze and love it--anyone else having this issue???

Spouse and CPAP?
YES, I'm in favor - of both!
Just a reaction to your title - don't have great wisdoms for you - I am fortunate that my DH sleeps well even with my whirring and such. Let us know if you find a solution, please..

Earplugs. Not kidding. He has to be better with the sound of the machine than the snores and snorts, right?

We have a sound machine playing. This helps me as I can't sleep in a quiet room. For my wonderful boyfriend, he uses earplugs. Even though my new machine is quieter than the other one, the combined exhaust of the mask and machine is too much. He prefers quiet, so this is a great compromise.

Of course if he had a choice, he'd take the machine and mask over my horrid snoring anyday.

My old Breeze had a noise level of 30 decibels (measured). I called the company and bullied my way through all the secretarial "firewalls" and spoke with a design engineer. He told me that they had already designed a fix for the exhaust port. He gave me the part number so I got a hold of the parts department and ordered one. The difference is remarkable. The noise of the newer exhaust port is very quiet. I didn't even bother to measure the decibel level of the new one.

However, it still exhausts straight out. This can be upsetting to my wife as it blows her hair around. How can these medical engineers and designers be so obtuse? How hard could it be to design an exhaust trajectory that does not bother one's spouse?

Another tid bit of info: I use a thin cloth stocking cap under my breeze to keep it from wandering around on my hair. The breeze is the best compromise I have yet encountered for my face. Universal fit? HAH! Apparently I do not live in their "Universe". But like I said, for me it is the best compromise.
