I tried mouth taping cervical collars etc and I was happier and slept better with a few leaks with no additional clutter over time I learnt to keep my mouth shut Good for you, and nice to know that it was perhaps merely having a clear intention and "time."

Dave,
It’s not the tongue trick as it’s the closing of my soft pallet as I can stick my tongue out and not let air escape so has no relationship to tongue position

Oh OK, it just sounded the same as an automatic tongue trick seal.

Sorry an expert hasn't weighed in lately. I know they are busy but it's unusual.
I'm a newbie myself, so can't offer much advice. But, your leaks do seem to still be quite high. What did the sleep doc have to say at your appointment? I absolutely can't make a nasal mask work. The ResMed F30 airfit is a hybrid and after quite a few trials is the only one that I can get a pretty good, consistent seal. Masks are very much individual preference and can take an annoying amount of trial and error to find one that works. (and then 2-3 months later the leaks come back and you realize the cushion gave up and you have to replace that.)

Everything looks good for an ASV user. Pressures and flow limits on ASV are typically wild as yours are.
