Re: Titration questions
When I had mine they requested that I bring my own mask...
Just make sure you are tired, Don't take any naps so that they can get a good reading on you.

Re: Titration questions
If you have a mask you think you will be comfortable with, bring it. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor for a sleeping pill. If you have a nose mask, and you end up needing a full face mask, they will provide one for you. If you have a full face mask because you think you need one, try starting with a nose mask. A lot of people with sleep apnea mistakenly believe they are mouth breathers only to find out it was the apnea causing it.

Re: Titration questions
I wouldn't use the titration sleep study for mask experiments if it were me. If I had a mask that had been working well then I would be using that mask. Now if the mask hadn't been working well that's another story.
It's hard enough to sleep with all the crap attached during a titration study...I wouldn't be adding fiddling with a new mask into the mix unless there was no choice.
So I would take my own mask and I would take my own hose just in case I could use it and it was nicer than the one they offered.
At my titration study they used a really cheap, not so flexible, disposable hose. At that time I had zero experience so I didn't know any better.
