Will be getting a nasal headset ASAP after I have had words with the consultant at the hospital on Monday and opt for the AirFit P10 nasal Pillow mask though I may need to find a reasonably priced supplier as here in NZ they at very predatory prices (NZ$360.00) compared to US$99.00 form the states or Canada which translates to about NZ$130.00 tops.
How do the prices over there compare to here in Australia?
Everything is cheaper in the US. 
Not sure about OZ prices but i guess they are the same as NZ, Where ever possible I buy every thing out of China or the US

Check Oz prices, not as cheap as US, but sometimes cheaper than NZ perhaps.

Not to turn political or anything, but things are less where the government does not impose import taxes, (value added, import fees, tariffs). The U.S. imposes tariffs on steel and aluminium and the world loses its collective mind, while they continue to tax everything.

NZ is a Tax import neutral country ie no tariffs for close on to 100 of imported goods however when it comes to medical equipment manufacturers and the supply chain feel very free to charge exhobatant prices with mark ups in the 100's of %
RE: Just started CPAP but major problems
Rang the Hospital this morning and they supplied me a ResMed airsense p10 for free, so tonight I can try the new mask and see if there is improvement
