[CPAP] Is my new A10 defected or is the noise normal?

I cannot see how could be the seal, even if the seal isn't properly in place, it'll get seated in place when you close the lid, otherwise the lid will not close. I'll checked it out later

Whenever the machine adjust pressure in response to events, pressure will makes its way towards the minimum setting as things quieted down and that constant swing can be disruptive. I would prefer the minimum pressure close to my CPAP pressure YMMV Why are you seeing ENT, do you have any problems with your nose

In regards to "I cannot see how could be the seal, even if the seal isn't properly in place, it'll get seated in place when you close the lid, otherwise the lid will not close. I'll checked it out later" I have had times when my chamber was closed, but when I push it into the A10, it was not seated correctly and thus made noise, which can vary as you breathe. Pushing it in for a tighter fit, always fixes the noise. As to your response to my posting: 1) On my one month checkup, we changed the setting to be between 8 and 15, rather than the default 4-18. I typically get less than a 2 event index, so I'm guessing that narrowing the range any further will not help much. 2) Why do you believe ENT is for nose only. The ENT doctor that I see specializes in sleeping disorders. I have more faith in him than I do the doctor who oversaw the two sleep studies I did (which I never saw or spoke to). Quite frankly I still do not believe the prescribed fixed setting was 8. I think it is closer to my old prescription of 13 and it appears that is what the A10 typically approaches. Going to an ENT allows the same doctor to treat my apnea as well as monitor allergies and throat issues.

The goal here is restful sleep, and pressure changes can keep you from achieving that. (notice I said *can* not *will* - everybody's different ![]()

I purchased an AirSense 10 Autoset, (refurb). I can't hear if it's running. Big change from the "Brick" I used for 10 years. Suggest you send yours back, sounds like somethings wrong with it. JMHO

Sounds like the A10 has an issue with the seal. Multiple complaints on multiple boards about the same problem. Hope ResMed offers a fix to current users and fixes the problem going forward.
