Ear pressure from APAP machine

Post by callumdylan » Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:42 pm

since using the Apap machine along with wax ear plugs for my ears to block noise at night, I have noticed terrible ear pressure like my ears are going to pop. Has anyone got any advice for me please???

WAX ear plugs? If you are really using wax earplugs, that could be your problem.
Soft foam plugs are in widespread use, and would be a lot easier on your ears.
Wax is too hard and firm--please don't do that.

I would be using pressure reducing ear plugs
