About the OPUS mask

Post by kwa430 » Wed Nov 21, 2007 8:06 am

As far as comfort goes, I'm pretty happy with this mask, or as happy as I'm ever going to get.

There is one issue with this mask and that is noise due to the escaping air. Also, dependng on my sleep position, I end up with the air in my face.

The noise is bad enough that it disturbs my better half but, as she says, its still not as bad as my snoring.

Has anybody here dealt with this or possibly engineered a fix for this?

Thnx

Had the same problem (but no partner) ... don't use it anymore. However I wouldn't be surprised if someone has a fix!
