Mask leak - Arik - 02-17-2019 Hi Guys, During the last few nights I'm experiencing a lot of mask's leak (see attached report). Is it because of the mask or due to mouth breathing (which I have a lot of)? How can I distinguish between the two? Thanks, Arik RE: Mask leak - Gideon - 02-17-2019 Spikes in the leak chart tend to indicate movement based leaks. A Smooth tops tend to indicate mouth breathing. An immediate fix would be to tape your lips. Any medical grade tape will work. A longer term solution is to train your tounge to stay on the roof of your mouth. It took me months to learn that. The traditional fix is to use a full face mask. |
