RE: leak
fred vanderburg;
I would expect that moving facial muscles while talking would cause leaks .. opening Your mouth with a nasal pillow mask produces a large leak, The reason for chin straps and mouth tape while sleeping .. In the case of the Resmed F-20 I use it is a certainty .. The mask providers could learn a considerable amount about preventing mask leaks by studying half mask respirator and commerical/military gas mask design .. Both are made to enable voice communication while wearing .. Especially for full face cpap masks !! By including a chin cup in the design !! Having used both the military M-13 And M-40 masks for extended periods of time .. The M-40 in a lethal atmosphere .. They were more comfortable and sealed perfectly Why the cpap mask manufactures have so much trouble with mask sealing just boggles My mind !! Good luck

RE: leak
I can talk in my F40 without registering a leak, but I might be registering a snore.
