Mike, you may have already seen ozij's post about halfway down the page here:

Sep 25, 2005 subject: Aura Comment

Seems there's a semi-hidden extra adjustment. My newest Aura with headgear still intact is off "visiting" for a few days. I'll have it back soon and am interested in fiddling with that second adjustment area ozij found.

Good luck. Anyone who could come up with a way to stick the Breeze pillows over the Aura's the way you're doing...wow! What sophisticated lab-ratting! You'll whip the Aura into shape.

Funny horror movie scenario, ozij!! ROTFL!!

I want the book rights...what a page-turner you've come up with!

"Scratches her head, goes to the closet and stares at long row of stockings. And then at a hook on the ceiling. Is she going to hang herself?"

One of my (too many) hobbies is video editting. I'm tempted to try shooting your scene, just for fun .

Lori,

Believe me I tried every way. Its a function of where the lockbox has to go on my forehead. Its okay I couldn't use the medium pillows anyway. Besides no matter how I adjust it still got that ridge problem with the pillow.

RG,

The adjustment in that post seems to be him finding you can adjust it up and down as well as in and out. I found no secret adjustment.

So I will cannabalize a few spare parts and turn it into a dream interface.

Mike, the second adjustment is above that little hard plastic U that is above where the nosepiece connects to the headgear. It slides forward from the top of the headgear.

And I don't know if it was a typo or you were maybe referring to another post, but if it's Ozij you were referring to, "he" is a "she."

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I'm still having trouble with the fact that you can't get those pillows under your nose. But, like you said, the ridge of the pillow holder bothers you, so hack away, my good man. Best of luck.

My apologies to Oz, hope she can forgive me Excluding the straps you have three adjustments, in and out, up and down and the bendy wire. Really have worked all and it just barely fit. Just me and this mis-shapened head. So tonight I try the Breezy FrankenAura

Sounds like something you would have put in one of your classic comedic posts. Please let us know how it works out. What an idea!

PS: Your head is NOT misshapen!!!

My husband uses the cpap, age 63, and has developed a deep ridge on the top of his head. The only cause seems to be the headgear. Has anyone else had this problem? He's used this equipment for 2 1/2 years.[/b]

Dianna, what's the name of the mask your husband is using? If you don't know the name of it...does it look like this (a Breeze) by chance?
