I sent Bleep a recording to confirm if that's expected. I sorted it out last night, but did still notice significant noise on inhale. But there are so many people making a homemade diffuser (Incuding you, me, and even Stuart) that the noise is certainly one of the negative points of this mask. Pugsy, I'm happy for you if it's very quiet with a pressure of 25. To solve this problem, I put teflon tape. You have good answers from Pugsy and Djams, I would add that some people reported noise coming from the joint between the vent and the vent swivel. If they want someone to test the new version, I'm willing to pay to test prototype. There's absolutely no other mask like this one on the market. We all know how happy those big name brands are to sue anyone and the last thing Stuart needs is to take his precious R & D money and pay lawyers with it. A better swivel.in the works.Īnd at the same time they have to straddle a fine line and not just copy something that someone else has already patented. I am not privy to all that is going on behind the scenes in terms of improving the Bleep but there is a lot of R & D going on right now.Ī simple diffuser holder kind of thing.in the works. They don't have the deep pockets like ResMed or the other big name mask makers. It's slow going though for a start up company which has faced some huge hurdles getting their product out to people who want it. Yes.and improvements are in the works and behind the scenes as we speak and wish for them. I love it, it has huge potential, but there is room for improvement and if these improvements are not made in the future, we risk losing a mask that we love.
To be clear, this mask is the only one on the market that I tried without any leaks. The noise is certainly one of the negative points of this mask. The only thing I miss from my dreamwear is the hose on the top of the head. but for back sleeper like me, the noise is more invasive. I have noticed that the noise is less annoying for side sleeper. I can no longer use sinus rinse before bedtime because the moisture that remains in the nose eventually take off the mask. One thing this mask does not support is moisture. It takes a while to get used to the installation, but everyone gets there. If you hear the slightest sound, there is a leak. If there is no leak, you will hear absolutely no noise. Slowriter, a very easy way to see if there are leaks, you block the ventilation holes with your fingers. I added the DIY diffuser, so wondering if maybe there's an issue there. I got my mask yesterday, and while mask fit said I had no leaks, was indeed loud, so I figure I'm missing something.įor example, where are all the places it CAN leak? At basically every interface, so maybe there are four or five places to check? If you are hearing noise and it's not bouncing off something then you have a leak somewhere.Īny tips on how best to identify and fix these leaks? The diffuser will work to aid in not having it bounce off something. I have tested the Bleep with my bilevel machine using 25 IPAP and 18 EPAP and it is totally silent unless the vented air is bouncing off something. What is your average pressure? because even with the kind of diffuser on your photo, with an average pressure of 15. Jas-williams, I see that your pressure is adjusted from 6 to 21.
