Are there any swivel masks? - jmr1068204 - 07-22-2020
Are there any masks similar to the P10 as far as quietness?
Love my P10 mask. Hate the small and limited headgear. Previously tried to rig a P10 using SwiftFX headgear with moderate success, but I hate doing that each time. Pressure is IPAP 9 and EPAP 6. Sometimes the pressure blows my soft palate around and makes me choke awake, but not that often. AHI is below 1 now. I get tangled in my hose. I run it under my pillow and limit its length that way.
I have previously had the P30i. When I tried that with my bilevel, it is SO loud with the air rushing past my ears. Love the over-the head squivel ability of the P30i, though.
I also breathe out of my mouth sometimes all throughout the night and wake myself up. In the past, I've mouth taped and it was pretty uncomfortable/caused panic attacks. Tried a Dreamwear nasal and full face mask...didn't like either. The FFM made my cheeks puff in and out with the flow. Chin strap didn't work.

F30 and F20 use a "quiet-flow" elbow that is pretty quiet. Of course, they are full face masks. I use the F30. I have used the P10 in the past but had problems with mouth leaks and hated the headgear.

Have you tried ResMed N30i? I don’t hear noise and like the headgear, love the hose at the top of the head.

A Resmed F30I is a lot like the full face Dreamwear, but I have found it to be more comfortable to wear and easier to breathe in.
