Hi everyone. I just joined. I was diagnosed about 30 years ago and had surgery (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty). Ten years latter I needed to begin using a CPAP pump. The mask option were pretty limited compared to what's available today. I had the original "Ultra Mirage" with a hose connection at the top of the mask. Never had a problem. Now the "Ultra Mirage" and most other masks have a swiveling hose connection on the front of the mask. I have tried these and the position of the connection creates a greater force on the cushion that tends to produce leaks. It's basic physics. I don't understand why the manufactures won't address this problem.
