Suddenly getting large leaks

[Zach21]

Starting a few weeks ago I started getting lots of large leaks and I'm waking up feeling lousy. I've diligently made incremental tweaks to my mask fit and the problem has not resolved. I've closely followed the directions for ensuring adequate mask fit that's been helpfully provided by members of this forum but I haven't had success. I'd be so grateful if you could offer any advice. Thank you!

What kind of mask are you using? Full face? Nasal? Nasal pillow? Model name would help also.

Thanks a lot for your help. I use a Dreamwear full face mask. It has a nasal pillow so it sits underneath my nose rather than over top of it. I' have a medium and a small and I'm having the same issue with both. I've been using it successfully for over 1.5 years and I've just recently started having problems with leaks. Back in January I discovered that the cause of the leaks was because my air pressure was set too low (min 5) so the EPR wasn't kicking in. I corrected that by increasing my pressure back to a min of 7 and that fixed the problem for a few months, until recently.

When was the last time you replaced the cushion on your mask, or the headgear?

I've been using a medium for 1.5 years and then I purchased a replacement several months ago. When that didn't work I went back to my old mask and headgear and that didn't work either. Yesterday I got a new mask and headgear (small) and that didn't work either.
