12 days (nights) with the Amara View mask.
I've heeded advice from forum members and have begun to loosen the tension on the facial straps and reduced pressure marginally, from 12 down to 10.
My morning numbers are beginning to reflect positive changes in lower ahi values along with reduced leakage numbers. Reduced tension has also alleviated external nasal pressure discomfort. It's early in the Amara experience, continued improvement remains to be seen, but overall comfort has improved.
I'm still plagued by Dry Mouth awakenings, four or five such events nightly. I'm getting conflicting recommendations concerning humidity level adjustments....??? Changes that I've made, e.g., reductions, increases, have made little, if any difference. I have yet to try a complete shut-off of the humidifier.
Logic tells me that less humidity should lead to drier air, drier mouth....?? Conversely, more humidity should bring relief. So far that has not been my experience. Not with the Amara View modified FFM. Nor with the Dreamwear nasal masks from which I switched.
Open to any and all suggestions......
