Hey everyone, hope you are doing well! I got a new nasal mask which I am trying out with a chin strap. But I had a leak of 17/20, and I've included my oscar data below. Does this mean the chin strap is not working, and I'm having mouth leaks? Or does this mean that maybe the nasal mask wasn't strapped tight enough, and it moved during the night.
Given the flat tops on the leak line, I would guess you are mouth leaking. This probably means the chin strap isn't tight enough. Or that it will take some time to train your mouth not to open. Or both...
