I sometimes hear a hissing sound from the top of my Dreamwear mask where it meets the air hose. It wakes me up. I adjust it a few times a night when it happens. I have considered pitting a piece of tape over the little hole where the mask and hose join but I don’t know if that would mess up my pressure settings. The little air hole is in the design, there is also one on my nasal pillow, too.

Not sure I’m much of a help. Good luck to you.

Please note--the OP uses a p10 mask, which attaches very differently from your mask.
