EAR PAIN

I have been using a cpap machine for about 2 months. Within a few days i developed ear pain. I am a mouth breather and have tried pillows with chinstrap, nasal with chinstrap and fasemask with pillows (resmed liberty). I have less pain with facemask, but still there. I am going to try a full facemask with no pillows next. Has anyone ever experienced this or offer any suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Filling out your profile help us help you. It also saves you from having to tell us what machine you have every time, and cuts back on us having to ask you before we can answer your questions. Once registered,

1. Look for the User Control Panel, just below the Search box, which is, in turn, just below the CPAPTALK.Com logo.

2. Click on the tab just below the black User Control which says, "Profile."

3. Look to the left, and click on the bar which says, "Edit Equipment."

4. Fill in your equipment, and select "Text" as the display method.

This will help us help you... If we don't know what machine you have, what your pressure(s) are, or what masks you've tried, it's hard to offer suggestions.

It could just be a humidity problem that you will adapt to in time. But it could be something else. Might be worth a trip to your doc or ENT to rule out an infection.
