DreamWear nasal Cushion air vent makes a high pitch whistle noise
I just got a Respironics DreamWear nasal Cushion . THe air vent on the mask sometimes makes a very high pitch whistle noise. I can cover the air slit with my finger and it stops. I pull out the 2 ends away from my face and invert it some and it stops it for a while. I love the mask if not for that. Has anyone else had this problem ?

RE: DreamWear nasal Cushion air vent makes a high pitch whistle noise
It may be caused by water droplets near the vent holes. My solution is just flick it with your finger a few times to help displace the water drops and that usually takes care of it. I pull it out a bit while it’s still on my face and flick it.

What Nightynite said. I've had this happen from water building up. Do you have a heated hose? That can help.

RE: DreamWear nasal Cushion air vent makes a high pitch whistle noise
Thanks , Ill try that. No, I dont have a heated hose. I suffered all winter in temps in my home down to 45 degrees. The DME only had luna 2s in that dont support a heated hose. I had never used cpap and didnt know how critical a heated hose was for me or i would have waited months for a nother maching. Medicare will only get you a new maching every 5 years .The DME said they are going to try and get me a heated hose by next fall but i dont know if thats possible with the luna. Wonder if there just talking AS my sleep doctor said they should get me a nother maching in 3 months from my start date which is may 1st. or medacare wont pay for it . They wouldnt do it. they said d there working on getting me a heated hose.

Watertrails- Go on Amazon and get a ( cpap hose cover) you can get one for $10. It will insulate your hose and cut down on the inside moisture. I use one and it works fine, I don’t have a heated hose either.

I super good insulated it ( thick rubber pipe insulation ) and most of it is was kept under my bed covers also.. When its about 60 degrees in the house now , I am fine with no heated hose.. (unless condensation is causing the air vents whisle noise ) But at 45 degrees inside, the cold air itself going into the maching and then blowing in my nose and throat was just misurable. I could just have the humidity on 1 or water would be dripping int the mask, So the air itself was still very cold. even before it went through the tubing.

Yep, the warm air from your lungs hitting the cold air from your home is causing the condensation in the hose.

Ah, ok. You can buy a hose cover that goes over any hose.
